I played football and basketball in junior high. In high school it was cross country, wrestling and track. After high school some local volleyball and a few years of softball. Advantages of growing up small town is you just had to want to play. You didn't have to be great at it. When I hit my 30's I started getting hurt too oiften and had young kids so quit playing. Now I hunt and fish if you want to call them sports and watch my kids. My son is a senior and was a pretty good football player and an OK wrestler. He gets one more football game as he will be playing in the 8 man all star game in WI this summer. My daughter does cheerleading for football and basketball as well as dance. I'm still learning to enjoy them but they actually had a very talented cheerleading squad this past year.

I played little league baseball, flag football through elementary school. 1 year of 6th grade basketball. But due to having Marfan syndrome,  I had to give up sports when I got to Jr High.

After high school I started racing. Much to the displeasure of my cardiologist lol. Started in street stocks, went to late models and then back down to modifieds. I retired from that last spring when I found out I needed open heart surgery in the fall, due to Marfans.

Now I just shoot on trap leagues. Play some golf on occasion.

 Gave up basketball at 47, knees just couldn't take it.   Same reason I stopped ice hockey and skiing.  I played baseball, soccer, tennis.   Umpired for around 20 years HS ball and lower and summer college leagues.  Umpiring was fun and put bucks in the old wallet.

Only competitive was HS volleyball.  We might have won one year had I not broken my wrist in a football scrimmage.  Played football, fastball, soccer, curling.  Could not skate worth crap so never played that in any more of aserious level than scrimmages with friends.

I did coach the HS fastball girls one year.  They wanted a team of their own as the ladies already had their team set.  So they asked me to coach (I was also in HS).  Took a bunch of girls from knowing what a glove, bat and ball were to losing int he championship game at the local sports day (each town had their sports day where the local teams all entered - men and women's, competititive tournies).

I played high school football, baseball and track and field (ran 100m and 200m also threw shot and discus). I then played college football at the NCAA Division III level at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. 

As a kid, soccer was my only sport, outside of the dodgeball & kickball at school.  In high school, I tried to follow my dad's (fast) footsteps in track, but eventually transitioned to cross-country as a senior.  College saw the reverse, three years of varsity XC (at Div. III level), then being recruited to run the 400m & 4x4 relay, after an inter-house meet in my final year.  Since then, I've payed ultimate frisbee off-and-on.  Currently I'm playing in a co-ed league with people half my age, but I'm still faster than most of them :)

As a kid I played soccer every summer from 1980 to 1990, scoring a grand total of one goal in 11 seasons.

I played softball from 2003 to 2011, before the team imploded due to lack of returning players. I wore jersey number 00 and my batting average wasn't a whole lot better.

I've played in a recreational volleyball league since 2000, and am at least a marginally passable player in that sport compared to the previous two.

I've always said that I can't have very high expectations from any team which would accept me as a member.

Mostly a runner in school. Cross country and track.  Quit baseball after 8th grade.  Couldn't hit. As an adult I realized I should have been batting left all those years.

Played some softball as an adult.  Reffed pro wrestling for a couple years.  Even won the only match I wrestled, beating The Canadian Kid with a Russian sickle.  A bad concussion ended all that.  Now it's horseshoes and bowling mostly.  Nothing competitive. I keep a set of horseshoes, a basketball, and a baseball glove in my car, just in case a game breaks out.  Oh, and kayaking.  But I'm real slow.  And I have a Google map of every place I do each of those things.  Probably gonna buy a set of golf clubs next weekend, if it doesn't rain. One of my friends has tried to talk me into it for 2 years now.
