What's sports do you play?

What's sports do you play?

Right now I'm playing rugby and tennis and trying to balance both while living a hectic life.

I'm pretty good at tennis but my game's gone down a bit in the past few years for whatever reason. I'm very much a confidence player. The thing I love about tennis, aside from the fact its tennis, is that you can go anywhere in the world and join a club and meet new people. I'd rather meet people through tennis than other social networks... just a fantastic game.

Been playing rugby for a while now though I get frustrated with the idiots who run my team. I wish I could play on a side which has more knowledgeable coaches. Right now I'm an openside flanker, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd rate myself about as good as Richie McCaw, but probably not as good as Jan Ellis or Michael Jones.

So again... what sports do you play?

At the moment my schedule is pretty mixed.

Football (soccer) (6-a-side and-11 a-side), Rugby Union *spits* (touch and tackle), Cricket (a bit of coaching, occasional nets and a game every month or so in the summer), American Football (flag and tackle, have a tackle game in early Oct)

I enjoy and play basketball, golf and squash pretty regularly but Im not very good at them.

Yeah I played League until I was 17 and Basketball until I was 16. I'm not big enough for League anymore and I wish I could play more Basketball.

Just started training for cricket.

Play ping pong in my lunch breaks at work.

Would really like to play Basketball again, and Tennis if I can afford the time and money.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

So you're playing International Rugby for wherever you're from then...

Play Rugby and Cricket myself.

Haven't played Rugby in nearly 9 months (mostly due to laziness and the fact that school rugby is ****) but I'm hoping to take it back up at Uni level. Don't think I'll get very far though, I'm pretty **** as it goes.

Cricket-wise it's been nearly 2 months since I've played, mostly due to weather and the fact I've been on holiday when the weather's been fairly good. Again goping to take that up at Uni level too. Reckon I could be playing a decent level of Cricket too. Not too sure though, I'm a bit rusty and I've only missed about 7 weeks of Cricket...

Frothing so bad for this season. Coorpooroo finished minor premiers in A1 last year but lost their semi against 4th and nominated to be relegated. We won A3 comfortably, got promoted and look like we've recruited the guy who scored 1000 runs last season.
