Haven't played volleyball in years and know nobody cares how my pickup or rec league basketball games go or what my schedule is or what I wore to play in.

Kneepads, I can't imagine you playing bball. Here's an offer: 25 NBA treys (around the world, 5 each) you vs. me. Loser pays winner $200.

Kneepads!  Ha, sick burn.

Imagine thinking a three-point shooting contest is the same as playing ball.

Again, nobody cares how good or bad I am at hobby sports (or, in your case, "sports").

Still open to shooting contests for money (praise Markus), but quick update: 18 team field in men's doubles; we took bronze. 7-2 on the day; only losses were to the champs (who entered illegally).

Mixed tomorrow. I'm gonna be AMP'd

Played my second tennis match of the new season today. Battled the heat and won 7-6, 7-5. Was down 5-1 in the second and then mentally broke him. Serving is coming around. Backhand is coming around. Forehand is ELITE.

Fantastic news BM1090, keep up that grind.

finished the spring season 8-1 but our team jusssssttttt got knocked out 3-2 in the sectional qualifier.

Got the national qualifier coming up in September so gotta keep up the form.

I will say.. there are some tennis guys that make me wish I played that sport more back in the day. The top spin I've seen from a few tennis people lately is just insane and something I need to work on. I mean, vicious weapon. Drives with crazy bite. I can bring some of these dudes to the net and get 'em... but, man those drives with wild top spin are fun to watch, even at my own expense.

Up next:
Monday - new league.. 3.75-4.25. Top court should be good - I think we'll all be 4.1-4.4. Never played a league at this spot in Minneapolis and only know a couple of the players.. so, should be a good experience.

Saturday & Sunday - men's doubles Saturday morning and mixed on Sunday. On paper, we're going to be very strong - need to make it happen on the court. As usual, aiming to collect a medal both days. #Pray

Love the direction this thread is going. Let's keep it to updates on a real sport, tennis. Would love to hear updates from athletes on here.

Would have thought you have a pretty flexible wrist to make it happen

I thought that's why someone started a Darts thread.

In grad school in the late 1980's at Marquette.
They would have free tennis at Helfaer center on either Friday and/or Saturday night.  Would play until they closed the place at around midnight.  Great alternative to the bars.

Graduated and worked in Minneapolis metro.  Northwest tennis and fitness clubs let you play year round.

Unfortunately, now back doesn't cooperate.  Great sport and enjoyed it immensely when I could play.
Always just a playground player, but if you hit the ball enough, you figure it out.

Sounds like pickleball might be the sport for you right now then.
