I'm a weightlifter if I'm not playing racquetball, but I generally enjoy all sports that involve hand-eye coordination. What does everyone else play (if anything) other than RB?

I used to love playing Baseball but its getting harder and harder to find guys that still like to play Fast pitch competitive baseball in their 30's+

If I am not playing Racquetball I enjoy table tennis. I wish I had people to play Squash with because I really think I would like that as well.

I used to play baseball very competively a few years ago, and I stopped generally because of racquetball..
I love playing tennis, as I am starting to pick that up and take it more seriously. Something that I really enjoy but I can't find a court for is Squash.

Let's look inside my Trophie case.....

Bowling (Leagues w/Trophies)
Skiing (Snow downhill, Cross Country and Water Recreational)
Billiards (Was ranked Nationally with the BCA and APA. Many, many Trophies)
Darts (League w/Trophies)
Ping Pong (Tournaments w/Trophies)
Swimming (League Benicia Blue Dolphins w/Ribbons)
Wrestling (Varsity State Champions NM w/Trophies)
Chess (League w/Trophies)
Beach Volleyball (Trophies)
Indoor Volleyball (League w/Trophies)
Martial Arts (Okinawan Kenpo-Purple belt and Tae Kwon Do-Black belt w/Trophies for Kata and Kumite)
Gymnastics (Ranked 5th in NM state all around w/Trophies)
Basketball (League point guard no trophie)
Soccor (League Right Wing no trophie)
Flag Football (League no trophie)
Softball (League no trophie)
Paintball (Recreational)
Ice Hockey (Recreational)
Weight Lifting (Recreational)
Baseball (Recreational)
Croquet (Recreational)
Foosball (Recreational)
Shuffleboard (Recreational)
Breakdancing (Can still do it)
BMX free style (Can still do it)
Skateboarding (Can still do some)

Obviously I don't participate in all the sports now, but you name it, I've done it and I compete at every level. Eye hand coordination is my vice. Anything that involves it, I love to compete.

Racquetball is by far one of my most favorite. Beach Volleyball is up there and so is Billiards.

HOCKEY by far is the best sport. Many people think otherwise becuase they can't follow the game on tv.

RACQUETBALL is the second best!!!!!!

GOLF is TIED with racquetball.

My kids love racquetball as well but I am showing them how to Play Tennis just because they can get a sports scholarship when they get ready for College.

I love football but haven't played since college. I toyed with the idea of playing area ball for a local club but my job demands that I'm physically able to perform. Broken bones, twisted ankles, and torn hamstrings make things complicated.

Wait I did all that playing racquetball.

I love baseball. I am a couch manager LOL. I love to watch it and tell the tv who needs to be out there who needs to be traded the whole shebang! In 2 little league years I was stolen base leader, allstar twice, allstar MVP, Playoff MVP, OBP leader and the most consistent Utility player (at 2nd Base, all outfield positions and Catcher. Never missed a game. First one in my league to attempt to dive head first for stealing, and for catches. I love the game and I can go on for days. I thought that there were no such things as 30+ baseball leagues but they are starting to come out more and more. Look around. I tried to play softball for a few years but that game is too political. I'm a little guy and they often picked the bigger guys over me thinking that I can't do anything with the ball so I gave it up and devoted full time to Racquetball. I just heard about baseball leagues for Men 30+ here in MD so I may look into that maybe next year. May need a few months to tune up. HAHA.

wow - VERY COOL & impressive - nice!!! Excuse my ignorance but what's BMX?

I like to horseback ride - equestian over fences - use to compete in horse shows a lot when I was younger - haven't competed in a long time, but love riding. I play squash too now - did a bowling league with my daugher - you know for the 'mother - daughter thang' that was fun, but haven't gone bowling in a long time either.

Longboarding

Watch this Video. And you will want to pick it up too. I skate with some guys that are like 40+ and they are awesome. It’s a much more "clean" skateboarding than your normal short board stuff. We don't have the punk attitude. Its more of an art than short-boarding. It keeps your legs toned too :)

Good call. I'm in the same boat. Wish I would have played semi-pro when I had the chance but life happens. Something about needing a 12 month job with steady income...:(

Hmm when I was younger it was like a lot of other people here baseball (both a ball that moves VERY fast) was a talented pitcher then screwed up my arm. In HS it was tennis started playing and a year later was on varsity team. After HS it was golf, been about a 3-4 handicap for the last 5 years or so sometimes close to scratch.

However, the one sport I was I was playing more of during that time when U was younger was racquetball. If it weren't for the local club in the 90s closing down I'm sure I would've kept playing. Like many of you, I wonder if I started/kept playing when I was younger how goos would I be???

Golf, and endurance hiking...I've done the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in one day, and back the next (50 miles and two vertical miles in two days, with my wife!) a couple of times, and also done Mt. Whitney (22 miles, 6000 vertical feet, also with my wife) in one day. The longest day hike I've done is 33 miles, but I'm hoping to do the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim in under 24 hours in the next year or so...I don't think I'll subject my wife to that hike!
