Well I started soccer up again this year. Just wondering if anyone else is playing a sport this year?

Its been about 5-8 years since I've played and I've had one training session so far, I like the other team members. I used to play soccer with one and another one is my mate. So thats all good. Got training again tonight and we're going to the gym, and its FREE!

I'm playing cricket a usual, and AFL/Soccer when school starts. I might do something new in winter outside of school as well.

Chatter section much? I'd like to get back to sport this year, although once again I doubt I'll have time.

They're some nice boots. I know if I started playing again I would cramp near the end of sessions every time for about 3 weeks.

I'm leaning towards not playing this year. Soccer btw.

It's been 3 or 4 years since I played Soccer competitively, it was a heap of fun though. After having a year off sport due to doing my knee at the start of last year (curse you social netball) I'm looking into some options that'll keep me active this coming year. I played Badminton when I was about 14 and did pretty well, have played once or twice a year when I've had the chance since and still seem to be enjoying it so I really want to get back into that competitively. 1v1/2v2 Racquet sports are one of the ultimate competitive sporting tests, and I'm not that great at Tennis or Squash so Badminton should be great.

I had a few hits of Golf last year, not that great but I enjoyed myself enough so am planning to round a few friends up to have a social 9 holes every second weekend or so.

Also looking at playing Rugby for my local club; I've played twice in the past - both games I really enjoyed it and played quite well, and in both games I broke bones in my body

So I'll have to give it some thought, especially as it could be very hard on my knees, but I'd love to get back into team sport and do something other than Soccer/AFL. Basktball is also an option, even thought I'm no giant.

Sport is fun

I'm going to be playing Badminton again hopefully, this time now at Uni, and also continue playing tennis- might find a club. Also I was thinking of playing rugby again, but thought I'd give it a miss.

Probably just working out rather than an actual sport.

Oh yeah, speaking of working out, I started doing indoor rowing in the garage on our rowing machine- I do 20mins, usually 4300m+ followed by a 2000m sprint, which I aim to do in under 8.30 each time, usually get in the low 8.20's. It's good fun, and I've lost weight/gained muscle mass, I'm only 76kgs now and 180cm :dance:
