What Sports do you currently play or used to play

stickboy

I was just curious, who stays active here and with what. I know life took over for many of us with jobs, families and responsibilities and it makes it a bit diffiult to engage in stuff these days so tell me what you used to be involved with.

my list:

grew up playing ice hockey my first 10-12 yrs from Toronto to NY then switched over to street hockey or roller (inline) hockey whatever.

Played basketball for my school for about a yr but wasnt a big fan..nowadays just play streetball with the fam and fellas.

I love getting the crew together esp in the winter for some tackle football in the snow..if theres a lot of snow obviously. If not then we just stick to 2 hand touch or flag

and I play alot of handball. Big NY thing cause theres walls in just about every park and keeps my cardio active. Been playing that since I was 8. Cheap too! All you need is a dollar for a ball and a wall and it does wonders keeping you in shape

other than that maybe a lil volleyball here and there at the beach in the summer


here's to hoping maybe we can get some of us from here to hook up and fuck around during a tour or some shit. Oh and no trash talking

cause I don't do that. Play nice, lol

nice

I miss playing hockey..haven't played in about 6-7 yrs now. It sucks

never fucked with baseball but we did have a few restaurants I worked with that had Softball leagues that I played in. That was cool.

dirt

I still play ice hockey (and I am an old guy by this boards standards - 40). Biking is a sport, I ride as much as possible when not traveling for work. Dirt and paved -- I love riding bikes. Running and lifting weights to stay in shape too. Bottom line, mix it up to keep exercise and staying in shape fun.

Played baseball and football growing up, then rowing in high school/college, and now rugby - it's awesome.

Ice Hockey and Soccer when I was a younger...nothing right now

PureandEasy

I played softball for years - in little league, high school, women's leagues, mixed leagues, work leagues

not any more though, the knees can't handle it - I was a catcher for many of those years

now when I crouch down, it's hard getting up

I played football (soccer) for 11 years. I started when I was 6. Then when I was 9 or 10, I started with gymnastics. I quit last year due to injuries but I continued coaching a group. When I was 15 I went to a special sports school. I had 6 hours of sports per week; soccer, gymnastics, handball, volleyball, swimming and athletics. We didn't have every sport every week. Anyway, I had to practise a lot so I went running a lot and swimming. I hated swimming and I sucked at it... I think I spent at least 5 hours/week taking swimming classes that year. I now love it and swim regularly, at least I did. I have a rotator cuff injury right now but it should be completely healed in a few weeks time. I had to stop with the sports school due to a busted knee. It's still not functioning properly but it's a lot better. I hope I can start with aikido in two weeks. I'm also eagerly awaiting the day I can start swimming again, which should also be in about two weeks. I play a lot of sports with my friends, basketball, handball, volleyball, soccer, football, badminton or running. I also took ten classes of street dance.

And chess.

I played everything when I was younger - baseball, soccer, golf, hockey and swimming. Swimming eventually took over and I swam in high school and college.

I joined a baseball league this year after having not played baseball for 13 years and it was awesome. I am starting the Fall ball league this Saturday. I plan on playing every year now.

eyedclaar

I played just about everything but I really loved football and basketball. Never could get into baseball though. Too much standing around. I like to run all over the place and cream the occassional mofo.

evenflow

I played football, baseball, basketball (untill 10th grade), and soccer all the way through high school graduation.

Since then, nothing. I think I used up all of my energy back then, and now I'm just resting up from it

Ahh I loved my bike, bmxing/dirt biking was tons of fun. Then I hopped on a yamaha and never looked back.

Growing up I (luckily) went to a school that liked to vary the sports we took part in, so I did pretty much everything from rugby to skiing.

I used to play squash with my Dad in my teenage years. I'd like to start playing again but due to an injured shoulder, it's not possible at the moment :(

I LOVE mountain biking and have done it since I was a kid. I only stopped biking in January because I moved into my friend's spare room and didn't have space to store a bike (also, shoulder problems rearing their ugly head) :( I'm hoping (when I get my own place) to get a Cannondale and get riding again

I've ran a couple of charity runs. I've done a half marathon and The Race For Life. The idea of running again interests me and I think it's a great idea... until I actually have to do it I need to get my fat ass in gear...

Oh and I swim at least once a week.

g under p

While in the islands....Cricket and Soccer

In Boston.... Ice Hockey, Baseball and Basketball eventually one year college basketball.

MD/DC...Softball and traveled the east coast down to Florida to play. Played up 5 days a week on 5 different teams. Sort like a hired gun to play third or to pitch and anywhere on the infield. Some fast pitch softball too.

Retired due to a bad knee and foot. However like Lance I'm coming out of retirement next year to play in Florida.

Oh I almost forgot my High school champ in Boston at Cambridge/Ringe High in table tennis. Lots of Cycling too both mountain and road.

Peace

Growing up I played basketball and football constantly, mostly basketball, but I was always doing something athletic.

In school, I was a pretty good basketball player, but I had to stop playing "competitively" due to a medical condition. But that resulted in me focusing more on running track and cross country and I'm glad for that. We won a few state championships, narrowly lost a few more, and I received many individual honors.

Now, I do absolutely nothing except 12oz. arm bends
