Anyone else play in an adult sports league?

[Mr. Gundam]

My wife and I, along with a group of our friends, have been playing in some adult sports leagues (through Underdog Sports) for the past year. We played two seasons of dodge ball, then moved on to a season of booze-fueled mini golf, and recently started our summer kick ball league.

Anyone else ever done this? We lose a whole lot, but it's a great excuse to get together with friends, and then go drinking afterwards.

Apparently the school district I work for has a softball league with teams for each elementary school. I was the starting third baseman in high school, so I'm thinking I'll have to play next season, just to see how pathetic my skills are now.

I used to play volleyball and softball. Great way to meet new people.

i used to pitch and play shortstop in hs; now, my skills are just sad. still, it's fun to hit and catch and run around like a 'tard!

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Do you consider orgy as a sport?

Since kickball has started up, I've turned into a Baseball Strategy Nazi, constantly yelling at my teammates about where they need to go and what they need to do on every single play.

I just run around and go OMG OMG SHIT FUCK GODDAMN

Whenever we make a mistake or someone gets out when we're up to kick, I mumble that to myself out in left field. And when I'm in the dugout. 

I'm a bad teammate.

[CajoleJuice]

I'm definitely gonna end up in a bunch of these leagues, most likely softball.

Drinky, I pitched too. 

[MrAngryFace]

haha, im just as bad as everyone else so its hard to get mad

Mini-golf was awesome. It's called Drinks on the Links, they had a bar set up in the middle of the course, where you could go and buy beer and wine. And if you got a hole in one, you got a free beer.

I keep it to myself, I'm really supportive and cheer everyone on.

But I'm still BASEBALL STRATEGEM NAZI.

i used to pitch

Always figured you for a pitcher 

On a serious note, I'll likely join a basketball league this fall, just for shits and giggles.

I played on the division softball team for my on campus job last year. But they play by these stupid ass elementary school PE rules that make it not much fun so I really haven't bothered to turn out again this year.

I was in an on campus kick ball club, it was more social than organized but it was fun. Sadly almost everyone graduated so it kind of fell apart.

I'd like to play in an actual softball league that plays by real rules, not elementary school style fairplay garbage. Maybe post college.

[Mr. Gundam]

Kickball and dodgeball both have been civilized, aside from lots of yelling and swearing.

I did hear about a fistfight breaking out between two kickball players, though.

yeah, I've been slidetackled by a 40 year old.  I was 10.  I never played with adults again because I cherish my spine.  I don't get why but all the adults I've seen play soccer (I'm Iranian and soccer's big there) are fucking idiots.  My friends and I never played with them (these were are parents by the way) again when we just didn't find the punching fun anymore.

I've heard that soccer gets people really violent in Britain but I think any country that plays soccer a lot gets violent over that.

[brawndolicious]

It's actually worse if they're on your team.  If you're on defense they'll grab you and use you as a ball shield.  They suck so it makes it worse cause they try to throw you to hurt the opposing team.  I don't hate the sport, I've blocked out most of the memories.  But it's scary being thrown at a 40 year old who really wants to score a goal when you're 10.

I blame my heritage for making me so unathletic.
