Geocache Description:

Time to get your directions straight to find this cache, which are not at the posted coordinates.

Jargon is part of our everyday life. Sports are especially full of jargon. Many sports terms have a directional element to them. This puzzle will test how well you know some directional jargon. The terms below may refer to directions for a moving object, a person, or the location of equipment pieces within the larger whole. Some of the terms need a point of reference. Assume a right-hander.

Use the following numbers to decode the coordinates below:

left = 2
right = 7
front = 1
back = 0
top = 5
bottom = 4
clockwise = 6
counter-clockwise = 3
right-side up = 8
upside down = 9

The cache is located at:
N 47 trucks/brooklyn.turnover/thruster/in-turn
W 122 ad court/stroke.against the sun/leech/slice

The sports represented, in no particular order, are disk golf, ball golf, skateboarding, surfing, windsurfing, curling, rowing, sailing, bowling, and tennis.
