Here in Latin America, it is very common for kids to improvise football matches in school or in the street. So, I was wondering, what sports do kids in the USA usually play in their schools?
>>
>>67587673
"soccer" as well lol

hot dog eating contests

Sometimes target practice.

nothing, they would sue the fuck out of each others at the first guy who'd make another one falling by accident
that would result in a either in a mass sooting spree, or the school going bankrupt from being forced to pay 150 millions dollars of prejudice and reparation

Pick up basketball is easily the GOAT afternoon sport with bros.
>>
>>67587673
At recess we basically all played football but occasionally kickball. Then in winter when we were inside always basketball.

>>67587746
Nah there were occasionally kids (usually girls) trying to start up a soccer game but usually ended up being like 4 or so of them passing back in forth
>>
Basketball

Pokemon and diabetes.

Smear the queer, Basketball, Football, Baseball, kickball, four square

Basketball and football are the most common by far for boys. The girls and the immigrants play soccer.

We used to set up, tackle football games during recess, but parents and teachers cracked down.

Then it was just Basketball

We literally play our most popular sport too.

All you need is a ball just like soccer. Don't even have to try to improvise a goal.

football and basketball

Every argument against American football not being a sport that kids or random people can pick up and play whenever is fucking stupid

>well what about pads
So you wore shinguards and boots to improvised pickup soccer?

>what about 11 men
Once again, did you always play soccer with 11 men?

>what about a field?
Any open area is a field, same as improvised soccer

>what about refs/coaches/plays?
Nobody talks about what formation they are using or what their philosphy is in pickup soccer either.


It is the exact same, kids + open space + ball = game.

It was great standing in the middle of the street and getting further and further away from seeing how far you could launch the pigskin, eventually hitting a windshield and setting off a car alarm.

School shooting

Playing baseball catch in the street is when the real anxiety kicks in. I've dented a few cars in my day and if you're playing on a long street you might have to run a couple hundred feet to get the ball for every bad throw

>when i was a kid....

organized football. rules were obvious depending on the numbers and location. needed at least 6. these games ranged from 2 vs 2 with "all time qb" passing games, to full blown my-crew-vs-your-crew hheeemfests.

wallball. what a glorious playground game, whenever a pinkball or tennisball and a smooth building-side is available. have delicious memories of the sound those rubber balls make against a head. sometimes called "suicide" or pegball.

basketball. more of a park activity (not school), as the schools around me didn't have hoops. plus, back then, it was the thing the blacks or tall whites did.

softball/stickball/baseball. this is when there was a coach dad around... usually only in the spring of schooltime. at schools it was softball, as you can't have the retard kids getting pegged by a hardball (although, that used to happen, and it was memorable).

red-rover, break-the-line, whatever. if no organization, the games formed into some tribal acceptance rituals. fun stuff.

In general, I observed an interesting 15-minute schoolground rule. After 15 minutes (sans an adult playground worker), boy dominate playground areas evolve to smear-the-queer, while girl dominated playground areas regress to the hot girls hanging out with the alpha boys, the mediocre girls split between following the hot girls around and isolating the best of the beta boys to try to beat them up, and the ugly girls determining who is going to get pregnant by an immigrant first.

>thesedays.jpg
>volunteer to save on tuition for my kids
>being a "certified" yard person

Competitive games are "frowned on".

Certainly, no physical contact games.

Kickball is as tough as it gets. Parents had to fight to allow their sons to play 2-hand-touch football in the fall (not allowed in the spring).

Inclusion rules exist. if a kid wants to play, and they ask nicely, they get to change the rules.

i cry inside everyday.

"Pickup ball" just means a basketball game with random people. It's not a separate sport.

Mah nigga, had this at my school too. Where you from?

Also kickball was GOAT in elementsry school, and on rainy days we would play crab soccer in the gym with a giant inflatable beach ball, fun as hell.

What the shit. How old are you?
I'm 24 and we did all that first part when I was a kid too. When did the shift to ultra-protective helicopter parenting happen? And why so quickly?
Hell, I used to walk to and from the bus stop by myself.

Teachers finally caught on to the rule where we would peg another player hard with the ball so they made us stop

Wallball was amazing i think my old elementary school has the goat wall, some rough bricklaying made for strange bounces. Surprisingly it was never banned despite aggresive pegging in the head with a stickball/tennis ball. This was the kate 90s early 2000s so idk if its allowed now.

Almost anything viable from boxing to baseball

Alot like tag but with tackling and usually a small ball to indicate who was "it"

kek, immigrant here. Did you ever have one of those extremely fun & frenzied large-crowd footy kickabouts? The one where the kid who brought his ball would loudly announce it during lunch break and send everyone within earshot running to the school field to play. Even better was when random kids who were already on the field would join making for a 100+ participant match.

One Man Wembley was the GOAT school game.

The mention of wallball legit triggered me. I just flew into a random rage when repressed memories surfaced. Kids in the early 90s were brutal.

Yet the second part of your post made me so sad.

We used to play smear the queer or dodgeball but those are illegal now I think.
