How many people here actually play sport?

[mr starface]

Just wondered how many people who contribute to the sport forum actually play a sport on a regular basis and if so what?

It seems most of the threads here are about watching sport and not playing? I do enjoy watching sport on the box but if given a choice would always prefer to play.

For my sins I play Badminton and Squash every week and play in local leagues and county leagues to varying degrees of success.

Also play Tennis, Table Tennis and Football pretty regularly, trying to get more into Tennis at the moment.

[Tommo2002]

I play football reglarly and Tennis. On occasion I play Table Tennis, Squash, Rugby, Basketball.

Can;t beat a good ol' variety :thumbs:

[Gethinnadin]

Do snooker, darts and other pub games count?

[Sluggy]

5-a-side football every Tuesday night for years. More enthusiasm than ability though!

Used to play badminton but those sudden reaches and stretches mixed with no warming up would give me constant muscles strains.

[mjb1975]

I'm a member of a bowling league - that's fairly strenuous...

But I'm also a keen runner and while that's not so much of a competition sport (at my level), it's bloody hard work!

[pillima]

I work-out at the Gym - does that count?

Can't handle footy any more - too auld.

[GregB]

I regularlly play Cricket & Tenpin Bowling and occasionally Golf & Squash.

[Mojo Risin]

5 a side footy with no rules on thursdays

cycle to work about 2 times a week (27 mile round trip)

gonna start playing badminton and tennis if I can find a cheap/free court near Whitley Bay

would love to play basketball - i have a ball and sometimes throw a few hoops for fun with 1 or 2 other and am surprised at how much sweat it works up

ive still got a beer gut though
sit ups are next on my agenda

[richdmx]

I play Football on a Sunday and train on a wednesday.

Also play Golf alot and Snooker/Pool quite a bit as well.

Try and get on the Badminton and Tennis courts when i can as well

:thumbs:

[The 3 little pigs]

Used to play football in the Lancs amateur league until the weight of the beer in my stomach caused my knees to crumble.

[pompeyfan]

Untill recently I played Snooker in a local league and Darts to Superleague level. I have been known to play tennis and kick a ball in the past, but the only sport I do regularly now is target shooting.

[whitesquizzer]

Rugby, Badminton, Rock Climbing and Mountain Biking.
Although big knee trouble has put paid to this for a little while at least.:(

[bigd]

[blue_smiler]

I play football for my local womens side and for my uni.. Looking forward to being captain next year :)
Also i play badminton and sometimes a bit of table tennis or cricket in the summer with my dad..

[Radiohead]

Used to play football a lot and was a expert class mountain-bike racer - I was about to get my elite licence when I broke my neck playing football and that was the end of that.

:oh-hum:

[Boozyuzi]

I used to captain the local football team, I have played for my county at bowls and I have also played wheelchair basketball in the USA, Canada and Japan.

All I play at the moment though is pool in my local but I am thinking about starting to play wheelchair tennis - all I need is a good kick up the rectum to get me going !!;)

[rooster]

Play 5 a sides on Tuesday nights, , Cycle to work occasionally and play tennis in the summer on my Lunch break.

Golf is my main passion though play as much as I can all thro the year. I have seen me play 10 days in a row . Wife gets a bit annoyed though. Whats with woman eh :lol:

[Welshlad]

Play football for two different teams - one plays satuday (and trains Tues & thurs), and also play for a SundayLeague side (training on a Wednesday). I'm also a member of the league squad (in my Sat. league), so every few months there are extra games for the league team.
Used to also play Badminton every Monday, but an ankle injury put paid to that for a few months and I haven't got back into it since.
In addition to that I have resumed my golfing career ( :lol: ) playing every Friday.

Frequent games of snooker (and Tennis in the summer) and use of my Treadmill ensures I say relatively fit too

:thumbs:

[Sam]

Used to play ladies football until I knackered my ankle and back once too often and was told by my doctor it was time to retire :( . I've played since I was about 10 (now 30) and I miss it.

[Brad123]

I play rugby league and im very good at it, had a few trials at London Broncos (actually signed for them) and played for Halifax and Huddersfuield rugby league team too.

Well, yeah, but the league side only plays every couple of months, nothing regular. Plus, there is no football now (except Sundays, where were still playing), so I have nothing on midweek so I can play other sports.
Needless to say when the football season resumes I'll relax my interest in other sports...currently on a golf frenzy though - cant get enough of it! :D

[forder999]

i play football on a saturday and sunday, play 5 a side on tuesdays and wednesdays and train on a thursday. apart from that i drink lots of beer

[filthypig]

Play hockey normally about twice a week, mens and mixed and train once a week.
Have done for last 13 years - looking forward to being in a wheelchair as advised by my doctor.
Also play golf and footie now and again - golf with the father and footie with the lads at work

Cheers

Jesus, golf or kids! That's a tough one! It would have to be golf.
I play (9 h'cap), left it for 5 years but am starting to play twice a week and get the bug again.

..and 5-a-side in a power league every monday night - more like fighting with the odd bit of footy.

I am also a pool demon, pubs with tables rock!

Footy 2-3 times a week down by Brighton beach, of a lunchtime... Got the stamina for it (could do two hours rather than the one easy)... but unfortunately have zero skill. :D
