I also ended up in soccer at one point. What was it called? A soccer "clinic"? I had nothing against physical activity, but we never actually *played*, we just practiced dribbling and other soccer things. I think we actually played a game once, at the end. Gah. Like a gym class where you never finish the stretches...
I also ended up in baseball in 1st grade. I could neither catch nor throw, so I was put in right field, where I only occasionally had the chance to mess up. Once, due to some people missing, I ended up in left field - if right field was so inactive, I figured, in left field there must be balls coming all the time. Thankfully for the team, that wasn't the case.
At the end of the - season? - we all got these baseballs in a little case, mounted like a trophy; we were supposed to go around signing each others'. I refused. There was still one signature on mine, however, which really bugged me at the time - one kid was sick, and couldn't come to this, so he had signed the all beforehand. Nothing I could do about that. Now I use it as a weight to keep my network switch from falling over. :P
