Anyone who has ever dabbled in social sport knows there are always a few certain stereotypes that pop up on every single team.<\/h3>\n

Here are the 9 most common characters you’ll eventually encounter if you play social sport.<\/p>\n

Which one are you?<\/em><\/p>\n

1. The try-hard<\/h3>\n

Thinks they’re God’s gift to the game, even though your team is in D division. Wants to win above anything else in life and will resort to yelling at their teammates who aren’t pulling their weight. This person will help you win, but it definitely won’t be as fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. The lazy defender<\/h3>\n

Really perks up when your team has the ball, but when it comes to the hard \/ boring part they’ll either lazily jog and leave holes everywhere, or just sub off altogether.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. The niggler<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s this guy\u2019s goal in life to constantly niggle the other team and try to start fights. He\u2019ll be sent off for rough contact, and he\u2019ll blow up about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. The flirt<\/h3>\n

Only plays mixed sports and is way too touchy\/feely.<\/p>\n

Always lines up against the most attractive player on the opposite team and always goes out of their way to assist the most attractive player on their own team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. The last-minute fill-in<\/h3>\n

Three of your regular players can\u2019t make it and now you\u2019re forced to find someone who can fill up the numbers. They will either be terrible, or the best player on your team, but they will never be the same skill level as everyone else. It’s even more uncomfortable when you’re forced to play with players from the opposition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. The former star<\/h3>\n

This player used to be a great athlete back in school, but since then they’ve dropped all their good habits and discovered booze and fast food. In their mind, they’re still the greatest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. The awkward ring-in<\/h3>\n

You need one more player to be able to submit your team, so Dan brings along his awkward mate who dresses weirdly and holds eye contact with everyone for way too long. You can\u2019t banter with this person or make fun of them whenever they stuff up, because you barely know them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. The captain\/coach\/organiser<\/h3>\n

Can be seen organising the lineup for every game, talking to the staff at the venue, talking to the refs. When everyone asks “what field are we on?” this guy always has the answer. Owns a clipboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9. The person who genuinely just wants to have fun<\/h3>\n

We all know one of these, am I right?!<\/p>\n
