Those days dont have to be behind you.

There are actually a ton of sports and activities that are open to us grown-ups.

Here are a few.

Solo Sports

Indoor boulderingis probably the easiest form of rock climbing to get started with.

Get started with a combination of taking lessons and just going out to dances.

Traditional Team Sports

you could play almost any traditional team sport on a recreational basis.

As a result, tryouts often dont require prior experience.

Some have a history as competitive athletes, but many Masters clubs hold lessons and practices geared towards beginners.

Leagues tend to be tight-knit social groups, amping up the addictiveness factor.

The Derby Rosterlists competitive leagues worldwide.

Some also offer no-contact or less-contact recreational programs, or find one through an organization likeDerby Lite.

Adapted from the pages of Harry Potter,Quidditchis a real sport played without magical spells.

Many teams are based at colleges, butUS Quidditchlists community leagues as well.
