Team Sports and firefighting

[iamdustin]

Hey, I was just wondering how crucial playing team sports is to getting hired on as a firefighter? I played soccer when I was younger but then got into motocross so I never had time for team sports. I still work well with a team but I am worried people applying for the same position will have one up on me because they play on a team.

thanks, Dustin

I wouldn't worry too much about sports specifically...as long as you can show them other real life examples of how you have been a part of a team, etc.

Any sport or anything coached at a "high" level is good to have on the ol resume.
