last time i checked, manipulating a mouse and keyboard was a physical activity, and being good at competitive video games definitely requires a lot of skill, just like any other sport🙂

No, just no.
 
I played basketball, soccer competitively. For fun I played football, I snowboarded, street hockey, rollerblading, and I can't really do much of anything now due to a lovely knee injury. SO now I play e-sports.

I'll trade you pics of me tubing nekkid for pics of you playing v-ball in the summer 🙂
 
Played football, basketball and baseball in high school.
Played baseball in college. After I became NCAA ineligible for getting paid to play baseball, I took up volleyball.


Now I stick with golf.
 
Play/teach Tennis (was 5.0, now... not so much), V-Ball (BB), roller hockey non-contact (local league) and rock climbing.
When I was younger, ice hockey (RW), baseball (pitch/CF), football (QB), soccer (CM/Goalie).

I'll bite, since you don't throw something like that in unless you are dying for someone to ask you for more information.

Do tell.

Nothing to tell. I was in school, and decided to get paid to play. Lost my eligibility as a result. My arm was shot anyway, so it really wasn't that big a deal. It became too much of a job and wasn't fun anymore.
 
I play soccer twice a week and go snowboarding for a few days each year.

I play golf, go scuba diving and fish when the opportunity avails itself...

edit: When I was a yute, I was a rugby player and did most anything else that seemed fun at the time and maintained the fitness level I needed for rugby. Retired from rugby at 28...

I am also an avid cyclist, but I haven't ridden since I had kids 2 years ago... 🙁

Wrestling is the best by far. Basketball is fun, racquetball, soccer.. ultimate Frisbee is a blast. I can't throw a Frisbee too good though 😛

Yeah, rolling around on the ground with sweaty guys in tights rules!!! 😕
 
Used to play soccer. Now it's the occasional ultimate frisbee and I play racquetball at least once a week. Any r-ball players in the UCF area? It's hard to find decent players.
 
I play competitive basketball, soccer, squash and golf.

Have in the past played competitive volleyball, badminton, Ultimate (wish there was a league here), and often go skiing (telemark & cross-country). Headed to Jasper this weekend for some resort telemarking 🙂
 
ice / roller hockey (organized)
baseball / softball (never organized leagues though)
volleyball "
tennis "

co-ed volleyball ftw if you ask me
 
Surfing is my sport passion, though I don't get out like I used to 🙁

I enjoy a variety of other sports and activities; snowboarding, skiing during the winter months. Swimming, rafting and fishing are big in the summer. I've done some rock climbing as well.

I'll play a little hacky-sack with the kids, but I used to play quite a bit. I also used to "dominate" foosball in the forward position back in the day (i can still hold my own too 😉

I'm not good, but love to play pool and same with golf...I can drive a mile, but the short game is where my scores suffer big time.

Throw in friendly games of volleyball or tennis ( I played a little competitve tennis in High school, but really only enjoy vollying with someone with similar skills)

I pretty much enjoy most sports as a participant (played all the major US sports in school) I enjoy them alot less as a parent/spectator as my kids get older (organised sports really seem way too serious after the kids hit the 5th/6th grade now)
