A little friendly competition never hurt anyone. Unless it involves throwing sharp objects while drinking beer. Or shooting air rifles competitively. Then it might hurt someone. But mostly, it never hurt anyone. Which is why you should immediately sign up for these five weird spring and summer sports leagues. First up, tree... climbing.
Tarzan. That guy had a lot going for him. Jane. The hair. The climbing trees like a panther. Related: there’s a group that meets monthly to climb trees. Just... you’ll rope up and climb massive trees around town. That’s the sport. Where was this when you were 12.
You know badminton. But you don’t really know badminton. To do that, you have to become a member of this new badminton club in Roswell. You’ll get together on Saturday evenings to practice. There’s a lot of running around and spiking shuttlecocks and yelling. It’s badminton. These things happen.
Remember that time the Olympics were here... well, apparently, they never really left. See, there are a bunch of Olympic-style competitions you can partake in this summer. Everything from water polo to legitimate jump rope tourneys to competitive air rifle shooting. Which is perfect, because you’re good at one of those.
A sport that takes place in bars: never a bad thing. Take this competitive darts league, for example. Right now you can play in a blind draw, where you’re matched up with a stranger for a mini tournament. And come June, you can join an actual team. Actual team spirit not included.
So there’s this underwater hockey league. It’s where you play hockey underwater. First, you’ll meet up with the team at Georgia Tech or another pool. Then you’ll put on a face mask, a water polo cap and protective gloves/fins. Then you’ll jump in and push a three-pound puck around. Then you’ll probably feel awkward.
