I want to join a sport, but am not sure how to go about it.
Hello! So I'm a 7th grader, and I'm kind of a very flamboyant, non-sporty kid, even though I demonstrate being athletically pretty good. I recently went to a hockey game for our hs and I decided that I really want to play hockey. It seems to me to be a sport that I think fits perfectly within my inteserest, but I sort of have an issue; I've literally never played hockey. Apart from helping my sister with field hockey, and the occasional floor hockey for PE, I know nothing about hockey. I feel like because of my age, it's a difficult point to jump in, as many people my age are advanced. So, I guess really, all I'm asking is, how do you think I should start?

Sounds like you need to speak with a hockey coach. If you do not know who that is in your school, you can ask at the school office who is the coach and why you want to talk to him/her. Only that coach can know best if there is a league for late starters and training, or if you can be taught and run through some tests to see what natural skill you might have. The longer you wait to find out, the harder it will be. It would be the same if a guy was engaged but didn't know how to dance for the dance with his wife at a reception. He knows he can't dance, had never tried and feels he has two left feet. So if he feels it might be too late to learn now in time for his wedding, he will not be dancing at his wedding. But if he takes the chance to ask around of professionals who can teach dancing, he could give it a try. He may never be a star dancer but able to do well enough to impress his bride with his effort at the wedding.
