Who here wants to compete in the Olympics?

I don't think we have 15 female posters let alone 15 in the same city... and I refuse to play with MissKat.

You could always be our cheer leader.... (you definitely have experience dancing in public)

This scheme reminds me of the movie "The ringer"

Honestly I just watched a few videos, and I am not too impressed. Hell it looks like grade 10 gym class....put a little spin on a dodgeball and we can go to the olympics....lets do it up. Honestly though....I think it is possible....all we need is a grizzled old vet like Patches O'Hoolihan to show us the way, and we may even take home a gold!

[ParaNoia]

yeh let's kick some ass!
i think booking a gym from some community center or school should be easy...anyone has contacts on that regard?

[rubecube]

I'm in. I was wicked at this in high school.

[FlamesKickAss]

I am in!!!

Wherebouts should we rent a gym, and who has a handball that we can use (That sounds wrong)

[ricoFlame]

Maybe we should contact these people: http://www.calgaryteamhandball.com/

Hmm, that site hasnt been updated since early 2005. Who knows if they're still around.

I played handball when I was younger. I was a pretty good sniper for the top corner too. Count me in!

Actually ill be on the maybe list, Im not sure if I can make it. We should recruit some highschool lads, Chock full of handball experience.

It's kind of like water polo but without the, you know, water.

[kipperfan]

Honestly guys......I am not kidding I think it is do-able. The question is how many of us here would seroiusly be willing to attend practice and actively pursue this thing.....if others will I sure as heck will. It isnt something we could just put together in a month or two....it would take alot of training and alot of hoops to jump through in regards to getting certified as the Canadian team.....but living in the Olympic village, marching into that stadium for the opening ceremonies and partying with some sexy Swedish swimmers would be more then worth it!

That's the whole point

A bunch of friends and i got together a few years back and went up to Edmonton for the World Masters Games and competed in Volleyball.

One of our guys got a silver in the Marathon (I think)

Kinda cool meeting and playing against teams from all over the world...

Even if it was in Edmonton.

[Ducay]
