Sports at Minnehaha

In America compared to in Slovakia, High School sports are extremely popular and I can definitely claim that most people participate in them. In sports seasons we typically distinguish between fall, winter and spring season. Since I am staying here for fall and a small part of winter season, I will write a bit about them. Not every high school offers the same diversity of sports. At Minnehaha, I could have chosen from these options:

Fall season:

Cross Country

Football

Soccer

Winter season:

Alpine skiing

Nordic skiing

Basketball

Wrestling

From the fall sports I chose cross country, mainly because I had a good reference and for a winter sport I decided to not choose any of those sports, since: a) I love downhill skiing, but the highest hill here is 700m tall, therefore this option seems to be pointless, b) Nordic skiing for me seems to be kind of like "regular" skiing, with lack of speed and that discouraged me from doing it, c) Basketball - I broke 2 fingers when playing this game before - NO, d) and finally, I don't want to be killed by angry wrestlers, in addition to that, I would not be able to punch someone. Instead of a sport I am going to fully concentrate on debating in the winter season. Although the Browns are still trying to change my mind about Nordic skiing :-)
