play a team sport
I was always the last one picked... 3 years ago

...for the team when I was in school. Huge klutz. I’m still (often very) klutzy, but I’ve gotten a bit more coordinated at some things, such as throwing and catching balls and frisbees, etc. (And who would have guessed…I can dance like nobody’s business!) So, at the age of 31, I’m ready to give this another shot. I’d LOVE to do roller derby, but can’t seem to get a response from the local team. There’s always softball, but I’m afraid I’d be so bad at hitting the damn thing…well, we’ll see this summer!

Thanks!

I’ll definitely look into that! I know very little about kickball—mainly that it involves a ball, and kicking…

As I remember it

(from my playground years), the rules are almost the same as baseball. Four bases, fly balls, grounders, etc…

But the ball’s a lot easier to kick than it is to hit with a bat.

The pitcher rolls the ball to the kicker, who boots the ball and runs like hell to first base.

Anyway… I have a friend who’s in her 30’s and discovered adult kickball, and she is having a great time. Maybe you will, too.

OH YEAH...

NOW I remember! Does sound like it could be fun. I imagine a kicked ball is a lot easier to catch than a batted one too, though. :)

I imagine so

You might avoid any team with “Rockettes” in their name, then.
