Amazing Race/Speedball

I always loved field day - but at my middle school there was a huge emphasis on the band and music stuff. There were athletic events, but it wasn't as competitive as I would have ever liked. When I think of spring and competitive things, I think of Speedball and the Amazing Race. At my swim club, we play speedball - a game that combines soccer and football, with virtually no rules. It was brutal and always a really fun time. The only rule: don't hurt someone smaller than you. I always would jump on people's backs to slow them down while they were running. It was epic.

When it wasn't nice out, we would play amazing race. It was set up just like the TV show, only the challenges all had to do with swimming and you obviously weren't traveling. It was always an intense workout and it went by really fast since you were in teams and not doing a traditional practice.

SHM Speedball game this spring!??!

Speedball: I guess I wouldn't be allowed to hurt anyone... but everyone's allowed to hurt me?! That's not how I like it.
