Basketball, Tennis, Football, Soccer, Hockey, Baseball, Lacrose, Water Polo, Cricket... its a pretty long list.
I think you could pretty play anything, cause they normally have division for amateur stuff like this. For instance, in one of my basketball teams i am in the Mens A division (top
) but there's also b,c and d divisions. With D having older guys or people starting out. So they're all comprable skill levels. I don't think it's a question of sport, moseso finding something to suit your skill level and maybe expand on that. Fortuantley i have been playing basketball for about 6-7 years now so i am pretty adept at it, if i may say so myself
However, i am gonna play proper AFL (Australian Rules Football) next year having only really played it once before and other times just scratch matches and muck around games with friends. So i am not really good at that. Although with that, i am mainly being recruited cause i am pretty good at rebounding and boxing out, so i'd be good centre half forward (as other experience footballers have told me
) But i can't really kick the ball to well
However i am statring off at a lower level of this as well, and hopefully throughout the year i'll get moved up to the senior side etc Albeit i mainly want to play whereever my friends are anyway?
I have always been into sports, so i usually quickly develope skills for them and am generally ok or moderate at most htings i try out. i think that happens for anyone with any sorta sports and skills training though. you can pick up other sports, at a moderate level pretty well, just due to hand eye co-ordination (basis of all sports/ball games) and general fitness.
So alongside with any sports you try out, you'll also be developing some good hand eye co-ordination which will be good for steming off into other sports as well.
It's be good if you had some friends who want to start something up as well? It's good to get a group of people with similar skills and intentions (have fun etc) together to play as a team. I hate when somone gets too serious and strategical (sp?) about anything. that'd be your best bet, i think? If possible?
It's what a group of otehr friends have done as well. they started up a basketball team, none of them have much experience, but they just do it for some fun, which is cool.
So, i think you should try out whatever at a basic or lowest skill level. I've seen older guys (27 isn't really that old anyway?) who just start up as well and they just go into the lower divisions for whatever and generally go ok. Once you get some good practice in, with any kind of hand eye co-ordination stuff, it's prety easy to pick up other sports quickly. It's all about having fun though, remember that
