We all grew up playing traditional sports like Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball, but how many of us had a chance to play sports like Handball, Ultimate Frisbee or Curling?! Here at the CSSC, we like to call the latter sports mentioned “Fringe Sports”. One awesome aspect of Multi-Sport is that you have the opportunity to be exposed to sports you wouldn’t have ordinarily registered for and can test the waters of a sport you’d love to potentially pursue further! While Multi-Sport obviously features traditional sports we all know and love, here are some perks of adding Fringe Sports into the mix:
- Few people grew up in competitive leagues for fringe sports, so it creates more of an even playing field in terms of skill level.
- Fringe sports (as with most sports) have skills that are transferrable from other sports, and shouldn’t be intimidating (e.g. catching and throwing)! With our rule books and rule cheat sheets, you’ll be a pro in no time!
- You’re adding to your versatility as an athlete and will be ready to take up any sport in the future!
One real life example of this exact scenario is our Senior Marketing Manager, Michelle! She played two seasons of Multi-Sport which lead to her decision to register for a Handball league.
“I grew up playing ‘normal’ sports and didn’t even know there were leagues for sports like Dodgeball, Handball, and Kickball. After playing in our Multi-Sport league, I realized how much I loved Handball and decided to sign up for a full season of it this Fall and it’s been awesome.”
It’s very easy to stick to what you know when playing sports. Why fix what isn’t broken?! Just like ice cream, there are too many flavours…so why just stick to one! Here’s hoping you find your next favourite flavour this season in Multi-Sport!
Over and out.
