So, it's been a few years since you've played organized sports. Maybe you were a high school soccer player who thought about going on to play college ball, or maybe you were that stud shooting guard who went on to play a couple years of junior college basketball but for whatever reason, life happened and took your focus elsewhere.
     You still have that competitive spirit - that want to compete - but you're not 18 anymore! You don't have your high school sweetheart cheering you on from the stands, but instead a wife or husband and maybe a couple little ones who depend on you. You have enough time to get your own workouts in, but not a lot more after that. You want to get back into combat but extenuating circumstances are keeping you from re-enrolling in school and telling the old ball coach that you're ready to take your starting job back.
     With your busy schedule, you should consider getting a group of friends together and playing organized sports put on by the city. Throughout the year, many cities offer the opportunity to play sports put on by their parks and recreation departments, such as softball, basketball and even flag football!
     Playing organized sports - at any age, at any level - will greatly benefit those who participate. For one, the competition involved in sports pushes us, as participating athletes, farther than we would've gone without that specific element. It teaches us teamwork, and teaches us to trust those around us. Playing organized sports also teaches us discipline that we can take with us to work and other aspects of our lives.
     By playing city league sports, we can get back into those good habits we developed from our old days of playing sports. Furthermore, they don't require the 3- and 4-hour daily commitment that high school and college sports demand, which makes playing more realistic with your busy schedule. And, a lot of workplaces are willing to sponsor city league teams that their employees play for, which will allow you to get back into the game without taking as much of a hit on your wallet.
     One of the most important elements of any fitness program is having goals to shoot for. Many times, when we're just getting back into the groove of things with our fitness, we know we want to improve our being, but we don't know what weakness to specifically attack. Playing sports will help us find and establish our specific goals, whether we want to lose a little weight so the run from first-to-second isn't as hard on the knees, or we want to improve our coordination so we can increase our shooting percentage.
     Playing sports teaches us to compete with ourselves, and motivates us to get better and continually improve. So, pick up that old ball, hit the gym, and get to work!
