Did You Play Any Sport Games Over The Years?

The only sport games I really played were Tennis and Badminton, not much into anything else. Did you play any football, baseball, softball, volley ball, basketball, golf, etc. over the years? :rugby:
 

Yep, in the last couple of years......golf, baseball, basketball, table tennis, tennis.......in our living room on the Wii Game! Love saying that!
Now, for "real" thing: little basketball and some volley ball. Football would have been to rough for my body.
Only sport I really got into was rodeo as a Team Roper. Really didn't think I could ride a horse that well, let alone swing a rope and catch a steer, but I proved myself wrong........real wrong.
 
Used to play Rugby Union and Football whist in the armed forces, oh and 'uckers' in the RN, no protection like the American Football guys............. just rough tough guys............. now minus a few teeth and with bad joints ....lol!
 

While in the Air Force we played only volleyball. Anything rougher than that was a no-no because it
could damage our coordination for flying. They had way too much time and money invested in us
to allow any dangerous activities.
 
Basketball and baseball until I was in my 50's. I also played tennis until two years ago when my partner that I played with on a regular basis had a series if TIA's. He quit and then I never bothered to look around for a new partner. I run two miles five days a week, so I get enough exercise.

My partner had his first TIA on the tennis court and it scared the crap out of me. Luckily, there was another couple of young ladies playing alongside of us on another court and the one young lady was a nurse. She recognized his problem and immediately took charge. She had him lying down with his head elevated and then called 911. After that she held his hand and kept talking to him to keep him alert as much as possible. He had another on the way to the hospital in the ambulance. The doctors stented his one carotid artery.
 
I started playing golf at the age of 13. I turned 60 yesterday. You do the math. ;) Still love the game and plan to play for several more years. I also played a little basketball in high school. But too slow to be very good. Oh yes......played some tennis too. But haven't picked up a racket in 20+ years.
 
I could play table tennis quite well as a kid, but it was never more than a bit of fun from time to time. I have no interest in sport.
 
Hi I'm new to the group and I don't know if this is technically a "sport" but I love the game of poker. I've played the game for over 40yr. now. It's just something about the game and human nature that's fascinating. Any other poke players here?
 
I messed around with many sports over the years, other than football, baseball and basketball. Then, at age 50 I discovered my great love, kayaking. I stayed with that until age 80. I should have started with it at age 25.
 
I played basketball and baseball in high school and baseball in college. My Dad was signed by the then Cincinnati Redlegs before he went to war and when he came home that because he had lost most of his hearing from the bombs in France, the Redlegs released him. I was drafted in the 23rd round by the Dodgers, but declined. I wanted to get on with my life. I knew that I was never going to make it to the major league level, so why waste up to 8 years going through the farm systems only to be released? Those 8 years were put to good use going to flight school and getting a good job.
 
Used to be intense at power lifting for years, could never do the body building egocentric stuff, just wanted to be strong. Played golf for a long time, 7 days a week. intense there too..... now I work hard at push-aways (from the table) so I will never get "Goodyear" painted on my sides.....
