• Anna would like to be able to jump and shoot (dunk) the ball in netball.
• Ben would like to be able to tackle people in judo.
• Zak would mix basketball and soccer so you could run with the ball in soccer.
• Leah wants to be able to ride a horse while playing hockey.
• Eileen wanted to mix soccer and hockey to hit the ball with a hockey stick.
• Sarah wants to combine horse riding and basketball so you can bounce the ball while on a horse.
• Alison would mix netball and soccer so you could hold the ball in soccer.
• Keito would make it so there are conversions in soccer.
• Jonty would combine archery and horse riding so it’s more of a challenge to shoot and aim.
• Rylie would like to combine horse riding and netball so that you can jump over your defender.
• Eres would combine pole-vaulting and basketball so you could pole-vault into the basketball hoop.
• Nathan would like to combine food eating contests and rugby so you could tackle your opponent in food-eating contests.
• Thomas would combine fencing and archery so there  was one opponent of each, but with fake arrows.
