soccer keeps you in fantastic shape, with basketball in a close 2nd.

I really want to find a team i can play on now, as i havn't been able to play since high school. (20 now).

As you get older you realize stretching is important both before and after the game, otherwise the next day or two you'll be hurtin.

Take my advice play for as long as your body will let you.

I'm 31 I've played all my life and I now coach/play.

It damm tough trying to chase 20 year olds around but its still better than watching from the side.

I love playing against old people because it makes me look so damn good. My dad is in his upper 40's and he's still playing. Me and him play on the same team actually. There is an over-40 soccer tourney in Vegas in January that most of our team is going to. I'll have to tag along just to gamble.

Have you ever seen deer playing soccer?

Yeah, very good for you. I know guys that play this and it does seem to keep them pretty fit.

If soccer hurts you, do not try rugby.
