On the subject of kids using "verse" as a new way of saying "play," @Microgeek writes:
I'm all for making up words. Let the kids have their "versing."So, I guess, a scrimmage in practice would be preversing.Repeating a match due to rainout, tie, some other reason would be reversing.Playing against yourself would be universing.If your team has to travel for matches, I guess you would be traversing.If the teams somehow get all discombobulated and get the goals backward, would they be conversing?
