my mom wants me to do some activity/sport. any ideas?

Try Olympic Weightlifting. (not actual olympics, just the same lifts)

I was never active, and my dad got me involved and I've been doing it for 3 years.

Are you a girl or a guy?

Well you can do figure skating (I'm a figure skater -- there are more girls than guys but guys still do it!)

Karate

Tae Kwon Do

Fencing

Track and field

Weightlifting (join a gym and go on a regular basis, like 4 times a week)

Umm that's all I can think of for unique sports ;)

You can also try tennis (not to many ppl play tennis but it is pretty popular)

Basketball

Volleyball

Badminton

Dance (hip hop/break/tap for guys and girls ballet/jazz/lyrical for girls)

Gymnastics (guys can be gymnasts too and not many ppl are good at it!)

Swimming

Hope this helps!

Badminton?

Basketball?

Volleyball?

Swimming?

Tennis?

Track?

It's "mandatory" (>:|) in our school to join a club or sport in grade nine. I think I'm going to join Badminton Club. Sigh..

Good luck :)

** If you go to your principal/secretary they can probably present you with a list of all the sports/activities your school offers, be sure to ask so you can make a better decision!

** Or in your agenda, if you have one. There's sometimes a list in there. Or your school website. Sorry I keep coming back to edit this XP

before clicking on your question I thought of soccer, but then rethought because i've played for 6 years now and you can't really join in at this age (i'm guessing your around 13?) alot of other sports are the same, it's hard to join now if you are just learning the rules/etc

try gymnastics or beginners dance :]

edit: if it doesn't have to be athletic, COOKING IS ALWAYS FUN!!

I loved playing badminton, it doesnt seem like its a athletic sport but when you need to be running all over that court, trust me you will see that it is a real sport

Ice Skating!!

i am a ice skater and

it is very fun and good

exercise!!!

Its also a very "unique"

sport to do. So it makes

you stand out from the crowd.

Try it and you might like it!!

Basketball, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Tennis....there's lots of options!! :)

Have a great week!

Try Ballroom Dancing. It's fun and good exercise.
