Anyone here play ball? Am interested to join social games and comps

I occasionally do - Friday nights at Riverwood.

Half court 4 on 4 up to 11, winner stays on.

Usually a turnout of about 20 people, but I haven't been going since I injured my ankle a few months back.

That sucks mate!

Thankfully I've never had any major injuries bar severe sprains, but a mate of mine has had them all - torn ACL and torn achilles - and he's still playing nowadays (just can't jump as high or cut as quickly though)

Just played a game in a mixed comp (guys/gals) and wont be doing so ever again. First time ever, I have fouled out of a game and the inconsistencies in the rules (which totally favour the girls) totally kill any enjoyment I have for the game.

where's the comp? can i sub for you?
The mixed comp I tried - in the first half, guys can't go inside the key

the mixed comp i played

i still managed to average 6-9 points a game :P

The problem with that kind of rule in a mixed comp is if you play with girls that are not in competition level, your team will get behind by 20+ pts and you won't have enough in the second half to overcome that lead. Even if I personally have a good game, you still lose anyway.

For your rule, you need to play with girls who have a bit of game

I prefer just not having too much contact with the girls although some of them are pretty physical as well

i played for a whole season and never had to guard a girl
i just tagged their best male player instead :P

I didn't guard girls as well, but sometimes they want to mix it up inside or guard you outside
