Do you do a "solo sport"? What do you like about it? How can other kids get involved?

Here's what other kids had to say:

Lacrosse is so much fun! You can play on a team or with yourself. Throwing the ball up and catching it yourself is a wonderful way to test your skills!

Skiing could go either way. Solo, yeah, but if you're on a ski team, (like me) then it could be a team thing. Although ski racing is entirely solo.

I used to do swimming lessons with my school (but only the Grade 5/6 classes), but I stopped after I split my toenail in swimming.

I have done nordic combined for 5 years now. Nordic combined is a combination of ski jumping and cross country skiing. I really think that the training I have done, the friends I have made, and the experiences I have had from this are one of the most important things shaping who I am today. Through nordic combined, I have learned self-discipline, how to lose, how to win, and what it means to be an athlete. I have learned to listen to my body and how to overcome fear. I believe that this sport has made me a better friend, a better athlete, and a better person.

I am a gymnast and have been doing gymnastics since I was 3. Because gymnastics is a solo sport there is a LOT of pressure on me ALL the time. Sometimes that sets me off but I keep going anyway. It is really hard, especially because I am an Elite gymnast, but I know that in the end all the hard work is worth it.

(First post- oh yeah) I the 1600 (mile) in track. Even though I mostly lose, but I've gone to all four meets (most people only get to go to one or two) and then today I ran a 5k for a fundraiser.
