Here’s a another plug against soccer. It’s fun to play and kids like it. But kids who played baseball can play softball when they 45 years old, have bad knees, and an extra 30 lbs. They will have just as much fun as they did when they were 12. The only adults I see playing in soccer leagues are guys who never stopped playing and are stil in good shape. The adult soccer leagues in my community are primarily hispanic and the average age is in the low 20’s. The softball leagues have guys from 18 to 75.
Kids who bowl can bowl into their 60s, 70s, 80s. And at 53 I’m a better bowler than I was at 25.
