There have also been many sports moments on the show, most involving Lyn Loud Jr, a 13-year-old girl, who’s an athlete. Let’s take a look at the top 10 sports moments from Loud House.
10. Lyn practicing bouncing a soccer ball off her head: In the episode, Making The Case, Lincoln (the middle child of the family) is trying to win a trophy in a film competition. He wants to have his own trophy in the family trophy case–along with Lyn’s soccer trophies, Lisa’s ‘Youth Nobel Peace Prize,’ and awards that Lily (the youngest kid) got just by sucking her thumb. Lincoln tries to do a stunt but fails. Then he sees Lyn bouncing a soccer ball off her head. She is good at it but doesn’t notice that a rake is in her way. The rake hits her and Lincoln films it for the film competition.
9. Lyn and Lincoln’s ‘Lucha Libre’ match: In the episode, Space Invader, Lucy and Lyn have a fight, which prompts Lyn to move into Lincoln’s room. During one scene, Lincoln and Lyn have a Lucha Libre wrestling match and Lincoln loses miserably. He then tries to cheat his way in the next Lucha Libre match with the goal of having Lyn get out of his room. But that just prompts Lyn to want to stay even more.

But doing that means his sisters will need to give up their habits, too.
