Talking what sport do you play?

Just wondering how many people here compete / are involved in sport and what is it?

Ill break the ice, I compete at Seacliff surf lifesaving club in South Australia, were I row in the under 23 surf boat crew, so far this season we have only had one carnival were we finished 3rd overall which is a huge improvement over last year.

P.S I hope im not the only person who replies to this

Don't play anymore, but played American Football from '94 to 2001. Played basketball in high school and college (1972 to 1977). As a kid I played soccer and rugby league throughout primary school.

It would be easier at night if you have flourescent balls (may be kind of uncomfortable though) :

im actually pretty sure they have balls that glow in the dark, or light up and stay lit up for 5mins after being hit, remember seeing it in a golf magazine ages ago

What i meant was i own an indoor golf simulator center and im here from 10-9, but you kind of get over playing golf when you can actually play it when ever you want:P i still play on the simulators now and then but not as much as i did when the simulators first arrived

so now im just an AFF bum lol- does that count as a sport? lol

I was a sports nut when younger, went through footy (afl), cricket, basketball for 8 years, tennis, raced go-karts, and won a few state and national titles for middle distance running.

Keep pretty fit at work now, gives me an excuse to eat crap and have a beer too when I get home

I have played competively in Rugby League, Soccer (what a joke that game is) and Ten Pin bowling. I am too unfit now to play any besides Ten Pin. My family's sport was Ten Pin. Haven't played for ages though.

I like to play socially cricket, squash, badmington(?) and any sort of drinking game lol :P
