Have you ever played a sport before and, if so, which one (s)?

Question

Piggybacking off @iron_man 's question here. I am curious of those who have participated in an organized sport before. Which one (s) did you play in? I was not athletic or coordinated enough to do it myself growing up but I would play a bit of basketball and football with my brothers out in the front of the house. So how about you? Any sports you participated in?

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I played all kinds of sports.
As for organized sports, I was the first string first baseman on a championship park league team from age 8 to 13. I was also a really good outfielder and had a high batting average.
I was on my school basketball team in 7th and 8th grade.
I went to a different school in 9th grade and played the tennis team.

I didn't join any school sports in high school.

At community college, took courses in archery and canoeing.

In my mid-30s I joined a fencing club at a local park and did that for a couple of years.

I was on a local rugby team but I quit to save my good looks. To be fair I was mostly in it for the drinking and sex.

I’ve pretty much lived in sports my whole life 😄
Tennis is my main love – played competitively, traveled for tournaments, still train like I’m on tour 🎾
I’ve also done track (sprints), a bit of soccer, and some volleyball in school.
These days it’s mostly tennis, running, strength training, plus yoga to keep my body loose and injury‑free 💪🧘‍♀️

I have done and continue to do a substantial amount of sailboat racing. This is definitely an organized sport, although perhaps not what you had in mind when you asked this question. There are sailboat races where only a single person races against another person, but the ones that I have mostly participated in are team sports in the sense that you have a group of people on each boat because the boats are big enough that they require this. You race against other boats. It is a very physically difficult sport and also psychologically difficult.

AviatorTom · Answer

When I was younger, I played in several organized sports: softball, volleyball, basketball, golf, 10-pin bowling.

I did it for the fun and the exercise.

Haven't been in organized sports in years. I do occasionally dabble in golf, baseball and bowling.

Calyptomaniac · Answer

Swimming and bowling (not a sport though) I did voluntarily so I still do them. My parents forced me to play soccer and softball so I almost out of obligation hated them just because I didn't get to decide.

Massageman · Answer

Volleyball in college. Our dorm team was #1. On mission trips, I would play table tennis- seems to be very universal sport. And I came in second in college at it. Bowling and golf on my own just for the fun of it. Can't golf much not due to shoulder surgery.

Godihateyou · Answer

I've played Football, Hockey, wrestling, basketball, baseball and Boxing. I was average at best at all of them, and way to small. But I had the heart of a Philadelphian so I often got into fist fights and got tossed from the game before I got tired or crushed. I think I have the record for most disqualifications in Bucks county history in wrestling
