Top 10 Hardest Sports to Play Without Your Arms
Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard at each end. Imagine trying to catch the ball without your arms! The only way you could is if you tried to squeeze it between your head and the area where your neck and chest meet. Also, trying to run up the court and defending someone would be pretty hard. If he or she shoots or passes, you would have to use your body and head to defend against them and could get hit in the head.
I'd be laughing so hard if someone tried to do this.
I need my hands to do everything. I'm not even allowed to use my feet.
Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring strength, flexibility, balance and control. You can't really pull off an organized floor routine without using your arms. I've seen girls do gymnastics without using their arms, and it looks extremely difficult.
It's impossible to do gymnastics without your arms. It's just impossible.
You can't do any of the apparatuses without your arms!
I guess I'll have to drive with my feet.
Today, my instructor made me do a course with one hand, and I'm at a very high level (no offense. I'm really trying not to brag). I had to do the jump like six times because I couldn't steer my horse to the jump.
This is very dangerous, especially if the horse is running.
Golf is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes from a range of 80 to 600 yards on a course in as few strokes as possible. I'll just use my mouth.
Ice hockey is a contact team sport played on ice, usually in a rink, in which two teams of skaters use their sticks to shoot a vulcanized rubber puck into their opponent's net to score points. Hockey in general is dangerous. Playing without your hands is just asking for death.
I bet some Canadian tried to show off and broke a few ribs while trying to do this.
It would be like doing karate on ice.
American football is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The game now revolves around throwing and getting the ball down the field. Without using your hands, you could not score.
If it's American football, it's hard, but if it's soccer, it's a little easier.
Swimming is an individual or team sport and activity. Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports, with events in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. This would be very deadly. You could drown.
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players each who take turns batting and fielding. I've heard of a guy who played baseball with one arm before, but I can't see it happening with no arms.
It is the hardest because it isn't even possible.
I wonder how this would work.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a cricket field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with a wicket, a set of three wooden stumps sited at each end.

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. How is volleyball not number 1? I mean, you literally can't do a single thing without arms unless you get super lucky and use your foot or head every time. This should be number 1. I've seen people with little stubs as arms being able to score amazing threes in basketball online, but volleyball is so fast-paced that it's physically impossible to play without arms. I think tennis should be higher up as well.
I'll just use my head and pray to the dear lord I don't get a concussion.

Not to mention the fact that you have to grab and throw multiple different types of balls, plus the snitch. You just aren't going to do it.
