Oh yeah, I can't be the only one. You are never the only one.

So I like badminton, tennis, soccer, hockey and baseball. I'm just terrible at all of them. I've never been on an official team nor did I really desire to be. Thing is, I can't seem to find a casual team anyway. Well at least in soccer and hockey I can play defense semi-competently but yeah... I'm terrible.

And yet, I have a blast playing. I guess I would be a bit of an annoyance to those playing to win as opposed to playing for fun but whatever.

Who else is like this?

I'm very good at badminton, I wanna try tennis. I was very good at cricket and football[footnote]Soccer for you odd peoples who insist on calling rugby 'football'.[/footnote]. I love swimming. Never tried hockey or baseball. :3

Back to cricket and soccer. They're now on a competitive among my friends so I don't bother with it.

Badminton would be mine, although since I've only ever played it in gym class (and I was about average there), I can't really say that I wouldn't be good at it if I played more.

The other sports I enjoy playing (soccer, baseball, dodgeball, golf, football), I'm not bad at. Golf would be my worst out of those, but even then, I play a decent round (for how little I play, anyway -- golf's expensive!).

Hurling. Only played it once when I was in Ireland, sucked at it, but it was so much fun!

I'm usually exclusive to track and cross country, but I'm terrible at just about everything else, except maybe ultimate frisbee.
I love playing baseball, badminton, and volleyball, but I'm terrible at all three. I guess I'm adequate at badminton, but the other two are pretty ugly.

I love playing beach volleyball, but I am so horribad at it it is quite laughable. But still, making a saving dive for that ball that you know you cannot reach has its appeal somehow.

Besides, the friends I usually play it with are terrible at it too, so it makes laughing at each others failures all the more fun :3

Capoeira. I love it, but i can't move my ass fast enough. Simple Armada seems too complicated for me. :|
I studied a few classical martial art styles and i consider myself quite good fighter - i can take a lot of beating, i'm ok with full-contact without any protection.
Yet, they are too boring for me.

Woe is me...

Does darts count?

The highest I've ever scored is 160 and often struggle to hit anything I aim for but I love it. I will get better one day.

Golf. I enjoy playing it but am flat out terrible. Part of it is I don't get to play it as often as I'd like. Right now I average about two rounds a year thanks to work sponsored events. Of course, that means playing with one or two guys twice my age that kick my ass. Still fun though since I get paid to play golf and not go into the office that day.

Well this is my first post.
I always enjoyed performing in Drill in my High School ROTC class but i have no coordination with any part of my body except my fingers and thumbs, and only when playing video games. Not good to be uncoordinated when you have 10lb rifles flying at your face.

Uhh, yeah... Sports.

I'm not really a sports person. I suppose fencing counts, as I both enjoy it and am not good at it. But that's only because I never actually tried it for real. I'd like to, though. And maybe when I do, I'll turn out better than I thought. So, I suppose that fencing doesn't really count after all.

Oh, wait. I remember now:
Bowling.
It's been a while since I played, and I'm mediocre at best. But I'm quite fond of it.

I like playing basketball and I'm ok at it. The other sports however...
I like billards, bowling, and badminton. Although I'm terrible at all of them.
Video game wise, I love RTS and DotA styled games but I can't seem to ever win a round or play without people telling me to leave the game for gameruin.

God. I suck at every sport now, except for surfing (which is something I shouldn't still be doing...but oh well, I'll take the risk). Tennis is the the one I loved but always sucked at. But I can't play it at all now due to a partially torn ACL (turns and pivots are pretty risky for me). I used to be good at baseball (was actually third baseman for the State Champs my senior year), but I'm just too rusty now.

Pretty much all I can do well now is run (the knee doesn't bother me if I'm just running in a straight line), swim, and surf.

The only sport that I'm rather bad at is floor hockey. I'm an alright goalie until the third puck/ball to the nuts, then I'm out for awhile.

Well I played volleyball for 3 years and I wasn't able to get the ball to the other side of the net even once though one time I swear I almost did it but then a gust of wind stopped it before it crossed, but I really do enjoy playing most sports, I just suck at all of them I guess that it's because of my ridiculously poor balance and the fact that I'm just clumsy at everything, I mean even walking gives me problems, so it's really not a surprise that I don't do well at any of them, and let's not talk about stairs, I don't like them.
