yes you can still play sports and you can do anything during your period and actually the more active you are the easier your period will be

Of course you can. Activity is supposed to help with cramping, actually.
Naturally, it can still hurt, so take Ibuprofen or Tylenol (I used to have to take 600 mg Ibu or 1500 mg Extra Strength Tylenol) 1-2 hrs before your game, and that should help. Also a nice warm bath or drink (like cocoa or tea) can really help.
There are also one-time use pads you can buy (usually in the first aid aisle of a place like Target) that you can stick on your belly during the game, (they are very thin) and no one will see it.
Good luck and I hope some of this helps!

yes you can still play. If you are worried about the cramps, take midol or something before you play. Also if you are afraid of having your period and running around, get the playtex sport tampons. They give you better coverage. They are amazing.

Yes you can :) I do ballet even when I have mine and that's in a leotard and tights! I can see that maybe the cramps could be a problem, but if you take painkillers it should be fine. Also exercise does help!

i dont see why it would cause you more pain but light execise can help ease pain. maybe you should consult your doctor if it is really worrying you or if it is really painful. i play sports while im on my period and find it helps with the pain but i suppose everyone is differrent. if it is really bothering you hunny go to your doctoer and maybe he can shed some light for you thats all i can tell you i hope it helped :)
