Indoor Sports

Just about every young American male has been sitting around the house one day, stared at his sports equipment, and decided to play with it inside, usually out of sheer laziness and having to go outside and God forbid, run. Who hasn't struck up a game of indoor wiffle ball or played a game of catch with the football, all at the risk of breaking everything inside of your house? These always turn out to be fun times until the window, lamp, television, or nearby food gets destroyed by an errant pass or swing. However, on a more positive note, these games are excellent for individual skill development and eye hand coordination. The skills learned in the living room will go a long ways towards your success on the field.

Just tonight the boys and I struck up a game of an indoor hockey shootout. Somebody stood in the doorway while the other person shot a tennis ball at them with a hockey stick, trying to score by getting the ball into the room. It was loads of fun as we threw caution into the wind in order to break up the monotony of studying for exams with a little sports play. It was an excellent avenue to just take a break from the day and do the thing that I love most, play hockey. So I'm here to endorse indoor sports for those of all ages, as long as it is done in the most safe manner possible to prevent things from being broken, and preferably only at night when its too dark to play outside. So have at it kids.
