Who plays sport?

Unread postby Disco LT » 14 Jun 12, 8:06 am

I know most of us play video game, but does anyone here play sport or compete in sport regularly, or have you wanted to? Just curious really.

I used to compete in target shooting, pistol and rifle but have let that slide over the last few years and played soccer when I was a kid, but thats about it. Used to try out for sports in high school, but was always rejected over the faster/fitter kids.

Used to play soccer as a kid, played footy for a few years in high school. We were pretty active kids so we had a go at roller hockey and union in the off season before settling for futsal. After not playing any sport for four years apart from golf I decided to get my **** together and get fit so I started muay thai. It's by far the hardest sport I've ever tried to learn.

Target shooting sounds awesome to someone like me having never shot a gun before.

I used to play soccer and basketball throughout primary and high school for the interschool sports comps. then year 12 got me into ice hockey/street hockey.. which i much preferred. (Cairns had an ice rink at the time.) (I make an excellent violent goalie for both soccer and ice/street hockey :twisted: )

then, didnt play anything for a few years.. got back into indoor soccer a couple of years ago then friends stopped playing, so i stopped playing too.
would really love to get back into ice hockey though.

Competitively, i play soccer (football), futsal and both indoor and outdoor volleyball (when i get the chance). But it's predominantly football and futsal. Informally, im captaining my uni's table tennis team for Australian Uni Games, but I have no aspirations of winning ;)

Currently play aussie rules and indoor soccer, up until recently I was playing a tonne of social and high-level volleyball.

Back in school I used to play regular soccer and do athletics, and obviously every sport under the sun in P.E. :P

To be honest I still prefer physical sport to video games by a long margin.

I played cricket until I was 18 (cbf'd training tues/thurs and playing one or both days of the weekend). Was a reasonable player. I decided to play a season when I was 30 - terribad decision (and woeful performances)

I also mucked around with football, bball, tennis and soccer when I was in high school.
