Sports

Cheiron's Academy may not have a varsity team, but there are many familar sports you can catch the cadets playing:

1.03 - What a Crockery

Melonball - similar to American Football

• Melonball - Iolaus trips over a small watermelon, and suddenly a game of Greekified Football is on. Hercules plays defense while Iolaus is offense, and Jason is the quarterback. Jason throws the melon to Iolaus seconds before being tackled by Hercules, but Iolaus misses the catch and the melon smashes against the ground.

1.09 - Amazon Grace

Bagball - similar to American Soccer

• Bagball - While showing Cyane and her tribe around the Academy, Hercules walks outside to find a game of bagball going on between the cadets. Hercules explains that it's one of Cheiron's foot drills, using a pig's bladder filled with water. A new round of this Greekified version of soccer starts between the cadets and the Amazons. The game ends when Iolaus, playing the part of the goal tender, fails to catch the ball and ends up being splattered with the water inside it.

1.18 - A Serpent's Tooth

Hoop Ball - similar to Basketball

• Hoop Ball - Hercules and Iolaus interrupt a petition at the Corinthian palace by bringing a game of hoop ball, a Greekified version of basketball, into the throne room where they use the room's crown decor as the hoop. The ball looks similar to the pig's-badder ball used in Bagball, but seems to be filled with air.

1.48 - Apollo

Beach Net Ball - similar to Volleyball

• Beach Net Ball - Apollo's followers can be found playing this, a Greekified version of beach volleyball, when they are first spotted by Hercules, Iolaus, and Theseus. It's unknown what the ball is made out of or filled with, but it appears to be metallic silver.
