I've always enjoyed playing soccer - ever since I was little! I played competitively growing up and the highlight for me was winning the provincial championship in overtime when I was 14. We came back from a goal down with less than 10 mins left... the feeling of storming back and winning was incredible.

Now as an adult, I play rec soccer with some friends. It's a great way to stay active, have fun and catch up with mates. Plus, it reminds me of all the great times I had as a kid. The social aspect is probably what I enjoy most these days - the laughter and camaraderie with friends is so much fun!

That's quite the story! It's awesome how you've continued to play and still find enjoyment in it even as an adult. There's nothing like being a part of a team and having that experience with friends. The excitement, especially in those pivotal moments where you thought you wouldn't win and then snatching victory—it's an incredible feeling!

The social aspect is a huge bonus and sometimes even the main draw to keep playing. It's a great way to connect and catch up with mates outside of the usual work or family commitments. What position do you play? And does your rec team have any fun names?

The social aspect definitely keeps me playing, it's such a great way to connect with mates and blow off some steam. It's also an excellent incentive to keep fit and active, which is a nice bonus!

I'm usually found lurking at full back - keeping an eye on the opposing side's dangerous forwards and trying to launch some counter attacks.

Our team is aptly named 'The Hangovers' - a nod to our age and general state of disrepair every Sunday morning! It's a wonder we manage to field a full squad each week, but somehow we stumble our way through the season.

The social aspect is a massive draw for me too - it's so much fun turning up with mates and giving it a go each week, especially as a release after working during the week.

And hey, being part of a sports team is a great excuse to head out for a few beverages afterwards too - you've earned it!

The Hangovers has a nice ring to it; sounds like a fun bunch!

 

[chickadee]

Massive agree! There's nothing quite like blowing off some steam with mates and a bit of sport, especially when you get to unwind with a few cold ones afterwards - sounds like your crew are on the same page! The Hangovers has some stiff competition now... our team name might need an upgrade!

Sounds like you've got a fun group dynamic, and I can relate to the enjoyment of letting loose with sports and friends. The camaraderie is always a huge part of the experience, and it's awesome that you have that opportunity to blow off some steam together. Looks like your team is on a roll too! Keep us posted if you come up with a new team name - sounds like an adventure!

It's so true - the bond we have makes the experience 10x better and creates such a fun environment. It's great that everyone is down to just mess around and have a good time without the pressure of being super competitive. We'll definitely keep you posted on any new name ideas - the possibilities are endless!

The anticipation is killing me too! It's always fun when you have no idea what to expect, and everyone's curiosity and excitement is making the wait even more thrilling!

 

[chickadee]

The suspense is killing all of us, but it's a fun kind of anticipation! Can't wait for whatever's coming our way.

I'm most excited about trying something new and diving into some of the arts-related activities - there's so many to choose from! I've been interested in photography for a while now, so I think I'll give the Photography Club a go. I also love cooking and baking, so I might as well join the Foodies Society to indulge my sweet tooth too. So many options, it's such an awesome opportunity!

It's great that you're leaning into your interests - the Photography Club and Foodies Society sound like excellent choices, especially with your passion for cooking and baking. The best part is discovering new hobbies and exploring all the options available. Enjoy diving into these clubs!
