Obviously mine is basketball. Ive played ever since I was 5. I like the whole aspect of teamwork and all the running.
(I also play soccer and tennis!)

    I love playing a game of touch/tackle football with friends! I played in high school and miss it a bunch. Second favorite is basketball.

    Lacrosse and field hockey.
    I have been doing them since my last yr in middle school. I play Lacrosse in College. This will be my 3rd yr playing goalie. I love my team so much and its a great way to lose weight if you have a good coach she will whip any person into shape :)

    Rugby, because I play one of the pushey-shovey positions and I think pushey-shovey, in the context of sports, is fun.

    I played volleyball and softball but I current love to bowl. It's relaxing, a good work out, takes skill and balance along with perfect form and release. It's challenging but fun at the same time.

    basketball, but just because it is hard to play pick up football :).. I also play soccer (indoor and outdoor) and softball (just not much recently). I actually like most all sports and am pretty good at most, the one I have the most problem with and get completely frustrated when I try to play is GOLF.... it is definitely not a relaxing sport for me.

    Cricket ... For the teamwork and banter. I play winter and summer here in Brisbane.

    I used to enjoy being a soccer goalkeeper too.

    Golf is definitely frustrating for me these days too. I've lost so much weight that my swing has completely changed. I use to shoot in the high 70's - low 80's, but now I can't find a fairway and scramble just to shoot a 90. So frustrating to me. I'll work it out though.

    A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work!

    fencing. I've been fencing for years, not only do I get to stab people legally, but I have thighs of steel and can tell you what movies have accurate sword fights (Princess Bride) and what don't (basically every other movie with swords)

    Competitive swimming. It's extremely good for you, and it's kind of two contests in one.

    When you're in the water, swimming your heart out, you know you are racing the people in the lanes next to you. But you can't see them or hear them because of the spray and the water and the sound of your splashing a breathing. You're racing yourself, too, trying to beat your best time.

    There's nothing more amazing than getting into diving position and feeling your adrenaline rush as the diving pistol goes off. And the adrenaline rush of touching the wall when you're done is amazing.

    The whole experience is a rush -- starting, swimming, finishing. It's amazing.
