I can play mostly every sport. Only one I want to attempt but have never tried is Lacrosse.

I'm not a fan of sports. I cycle and walk every once in a while, not much more... The national sport here in Europe is soccer. I don't watch that at all...

Uh, no. Like sports, but can't play 'em. I've got good reflexes, though.


Be well,

What about band? ;-)
It is in its own sports category :)
I used to play baseball professionally (got onto jv) but blew my shoulder out making an out at the plate from center field. Now all I can do is bike and play some football (wide receiver)
Hope everyone is safe!

Did I sleep too much last night and miss the victory of the Euro-federalists and ever-closer union has meant that we're all one nation now? :P

Also, we're talking about how athletic you are, not whether you like sports.

Ditto. Or rather, I can play them, I'm just not very good.

I'm OK at Ultimate (a couple of years back I was marking someone on the UK national squad and managed to stop her effectively. But I'm a bit poor at catching), and in my teens was a pretty good dingy sailor (though cost and lack of opportunity has meant it's been years since I was last in a boat). Can play hockey (field, not ice) with some degree of skill, but it's been 5 years since I last wielded a stick (unless unihoc counts, and it doesn't really). Soccer I have a little skill, but not much more than to enjoy running about to the right places at the right time and occasionally make a decent pass/interception.

I do like running about places, tend to walk to places, but I don't get enough exercise, particularly in winter.

I walk a lot, as I live in a neighborhood that has a 1-mile loop and hills, making it a good 20-30 minute mild workout. If I'm walking my dog, it may take longer. That's about it.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

I have done various things over the years.  For about ten years I used to commute by bicycle, so I was guaranteed at least thirty minutes' vigorous exercise in at least two bursts every day.  These days I walk mostly since that helps me think and sleep.  I used to be into lifting weights, and want to start that again.

I bike (on and off road, including to work sometimes), hike, kayak, and have recently gotten into indoor climbing. I also have referreed youth soccer off and on over the past 10 years also.

As an adult, there's not much availability for recreational team sports like schools provide to students, and what adult leagues exist usually require a larger time commitment than I (or my wife will let me) make.

Alpine skiing is my thing.  I enjoy it enough that it motivates me to get to the gym a few times a week year round to be in good enough shape to be ready when the snow comes.  Plus it has a roadgeek benefit of getting me to some places I otherwise would not likely travel.

I'm kinda tall and lanky, but I'm athletic enough to play racquetball and volleyball somewhat well.

During the winter, I go curling.  It's a nice aerobic exercise, as well as being a lot of fun.  I've also picked up some snowshoes, so hopefully there will be some snow sometime this winter for me to test out the snowshoes.

When it's warmer out, I do some walking, light hiking, kayaking, play in an adult kickball league, etc.

I played football ( Defensive End and Offensive Tackle... I wasn't huge but one of the bigger guys on the team-- it was a small HS) and ran track( 800m was my main event) in High School.  I was on  a Div III football team in college as D-back... but I think I played a grand total of 3 minutes in a game--- I was more or less a tackling dummy during the week.

But that was many years ago.  Now I do yoga a couple times a week and some running and biking.

Not trying to bump it.. But over the last year I started as the varsity center freshman and sophomore years, I'm 6'1" 180lbs.. A faced 5'11" 280lb nose guards.. :-| But now my big sport is basketball, about one inch from dunking.. The best part of athletics, weight lifting, leg pressing 540lbs!  :D

I was about that size at 17... im now 6'1" 210 down from 260... Football will beat your body up... so unless you are getting scholarships or getting paid by the NFL find something else... But stay active... its much easier to stay in shape than get back in shape

Softball & mountain biking, and I love watching college football & college softball

I'm really into bowling. Played it since I was nine yrs. old, and I played bowling all four years of high school. As of now, my highest game is 298.
I actually watch more bowling on TV than any other sport.

Happy Roadgeeking,
