We dont have high school sports like in the USA
In europe you join a club to play a sport like soccer, tennis, field hockey, track or whatever. In each country different sports are populair. In the Netherlands its soccer by far. We have some Football teams over here. Back in my days (early 2000's) we had 3 divisions but I seriously dont remember how many teams. Its a very small sport over here. I germany its much bigger I think. Last edited on 2017-10-05 14:03:56 by ivo17 |

(no American Football though - but most Universities have a team for that) My daughter (age 13, year 9 in the UK school system) plays Football and Rounders for her school teams, has represented the school in Athletics and Cricket too. She also plays Badminton and Basketball as part of after-school activities. She has also been offered Rugby and Boxing, but she doesn't have time to attend those too (unsurprisingly!). We do have a lot of private clubs for sports too though - she is a member of a Judo club (her #1 sport - that's the one which has made her into a good all round athlete), she plays for a local Cricket club during the summer, and she's also looking for a local Football team to join, as other commitments mean she cannot attend training sessions for the school team and she is doing Football as a core part of her Sports qualifications. |

OK, but since you all decided to leave the EU I dont concider you europe anymore 
But seriously I didnt know that. I think its a good thing though. I went to High School in the USA for 1 year as an exchange student and I loved the way sports are part of school life over there. |

And why on earth did Jonny mention Cricket among all those fine sports
For anyone not from the Commonwealth Cricket I an awful long activity involving very little action, more a social happening than a sport I never met a sport I did not like (ok, there are a few) and an Australian and a guy from India really tried to explain the rules to me but I probably never will understand what is going on during a cricket match  |

Test matches are a five day version which in many ways is considered the pinnacle of the sport. Test matches are as much as anything a psychological battle moreso than even golf or tennis. Its a quite fascinating sport once you understand the nuances of the game and is compelling viewing with a little knowledge. |
