I was wondering what sports people have played in the past and play now?
It seems that alot of sports that you could once play in high school and earlier are difficult to play these days because of the people involved, equipment, potential for injury etc.
I played baseball, football, and tennis in high school, football and tennis in college competitively, then softball, tennis, and football intermurally, and now only play tennis.
I guess some people still do play football in park recreational leagues and such but it would seem it would be really hard on your body. Back when I lived in WI, there was a bar league where they played full tackle football with pads and people left in ambulances nearly every night they played...
I suppose tennis, racquetball, basketball, and maybe soccer are sports that are fairly accessible for adults to play, any others?

I used to play soccer while I was in high school. I also played for a few years in an adult co-ed league in the community after I graduated. While playing for the co-ed league we got to enter several tournaments in surrounding cities, so that was fun. Now, due to time constraints with family and work I don't have time to play; but I would love to if I could.
The sport that we are getting into as a family right now is rodeo. I know that some people don't consider this a sport, but its just as competitive and just as fun as any other sport out there. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that you are also dealing with animals that have a mind of their own.
