Reply To: Did you practice (or do you practice) any sports?

I grew up playing several of the sports options listed in organized leagues, plus the unorganized play that kids used to do around the neighborhood. That was through high school, and even some intramural sports in college.

As an adult, I went back to my favorite sport, ice hockey, and took up officiating to stay involved with the game. I worked youth and high school level games for over twenty years before retiring due to health reasons.

I also officiated lacrosse for three seasons at youth and high school levels. I had to give that up after a knee injury sustained officiating hockey.

So, don’t forget that not only do some people grow up playing sports, but some of us weirdos become officials when we grow up, or grow older.
