Sports You Play

Ok. So what sports do you play/did you play in a competitive league(like high school or college division team), in a non-competitive league(like a recreational league), or just for fun in a nonleague

I am about to start my first dek hockey season this month, so I am pretty excited to meet my new teamates in a few weeks! For those of you that don't know, dek hockey is basically like floor hockey, where you play in sneakers. I also have played roller hockey in the past, and tennis(hopefully will be joining a tennis team in the spring time, but I don't know if I will change my mind by then)

Baseball, and I want to do Football and Hockey once I am healthy. I have thought about track, to keep even stronger for baseball.

I play High School Baseball and Football I play basketball for fun occaisionally

hockey and baseball.

And the occasional slow pitch softball beer league.

I play Baseball for the school and for the city/JL. I play just about all sports for fun, though.

Backyard Football and Basketball.

I nearly lost an eye playing baseball a few years ago, so I burned that bridge.

Baseball, on the high school team (I start at catcher)

I play basketball, got a bit bored of it lately though

Mainly baseball, I also play basketball just for something to do in the winter. I also play pick-up football with my friends(they are all trying to convince me to play on there team in there league, apparently im good)

Baseball for the school. (Fighting for the starting varsity spot at catcher)

When I was younger I engaged in the normal...sled dog racing, ultimate frisbee, skeeball, and camel wrestling...pretty much the things every youth loves.

As a young adult I played mostly footbag and cricket.

Lately I am really into caber tossing...and hope to compete in the local championships this fall.

Oh, and of course cribbage...the game of kings.

My recommendation is to avoid football (and hockey too, if it's even available in your area), and do track and basketball. You might not like basketball (neither do I), but that and track will certainly help your baseball play... and health.

Actually, if you want to improve your footwork in baseball, probably nothing will help you with your foot agility than soccer.

Anyway, I played football, until I had to give it up when my knees started getting cranky.

True...

BTW, I love football, and really love hockey. It's just... with RSR's health concerns, that'd give me pause.

Oh yeah, I understand that completely.

Long-distance running. HS, college, and seriously afterwards.

competitively I've played soccer, basketball, baseball, track & cross country

only played them b/c fball wasn't available at my school which helps explain why the only game I've played in intramurals in college was fball

He should play dek/floor hockey then

Much less risky in terms of health

I thought about it

Most dek/foot hockey leagues are very very tough on hitting(some don't allow it at all), plus it is easier taking hits in your shoes rather than on ice skates. Dek is a much less injury-prone style of game

Not to mention most play with the orange puck, which is a bit softer than an actual puck

Soccer; cricket; boxing; basketball; track; tennis; tug-o-war; rounders; softball;
Jock-of-all-try-outs, master of none, I hasten to add.

My proudest sporting moment tho', came in my late fifties, when a bunch of youngsters allowed me to play goal in dek hockey...I did okay, too, just letting the ball bounce off me, until I decided to act like a real goaltender, and catch it in my mitt - then, I, somehow,managed to throw it into my own goal!:o

Cross country(just had 7 am practice!), track(long distance), and my favorite, baseball.

I used to play LL and Babe Ruth baseball.

Now I just play a whole lot of pool. Soon to be playing competitively in APA.

I started playing football in high school but a friend of mine played hockey and pointed out that while I practised 5 days a week to play one game, he played 2 to 4 games a week and hardly ever practised because of the cost of ice time to the school. So I switched and am paying for it now, some 30 years later. While I had no major injuries my shoulders and knees always ache from the wear and tear.
Today i play golf, to a 10 handicap I might add. I think hockey did help me pick up golf quicker than most. There was just no way I could have played golf in high school or college. Have you ever seen what golfers wore in the
70's!?!? Hippies and golf courses just did not mix.....
