Table tennis was the only sport I was good at in junior high PE! We would do big tournaments and I always came out on top. I do play pickleball now and then and it's a lot of fun, but I'm not super great at it.

That's so fun you would win all the junior high tournaments!

Have you ever played or watched pickleball? I think I've seen pickleball on TV, but never in person. Haven't played either, but we have friends who love tennis and have started to play pickleball... they keep trying to get my hubby and I to play with them.

Which sport are you most familiar with: pickleball, tennis, badminton, or table tennis? I used to play tennis a bit for fun in college with friends (I wasn't great) and we played badminton as kids in the yard and also played table tennis here and there too. Pickleball seems to be all the rage around here and anywhere that has courts is always busy.

What’s the last sport you played or watched? Me? Sports. Meh. I'm an artsy person for a reason. Ha ha! I guess I'd say corn hole is the last thing I did with other people. I'm always the worst one of the people playing.. so it's obviously not my favorite.

Don't give in to your friends lol I gave in to my family and now they always expect me to play when I'd rather just watch.

I tried Pickleball for the first time two years ago. I liked it enough, but wasn't enthusiastic so when the friend I was trying it with said she didn't like it, I chose to walk with her instead. Since then I've done it a few more times with some coworkers just for fun.

Of those 4 games, I'm most familiar with the rules of Pickleball since that's the only one I've played in many years. I learned tennis when I was a kid but didn't play much. Also when I was a kid, we had a Ping Pong (table tennis) table but I never learned the rules for it. I've never learned or watched badminton. Couldn't even describe it.

Is hiking a sport? I hike a few times every month. Other than a few games of Pickleball and throwing balls around with children and hide and seek and games like that . . . I can't think of anything sport-like I've played in like a decade. Oh! A little over a decade ago, I participated in Kickball games with my kids and other homeschool families several times. That was fun!
edited to add, because I didn't notice the word "watched" in the last question before: I don't watch any sports. I did watch the Richmond Squirrels play baseball about 7 years ago, after my oldest kid sang the national anthem for them at the beginning of the game. I don't think I've ever watched any sports on t.v. in my whole 52 years of life.

Now that you mention it, I've never learned the rules for ping pong either.

I think it's great you hike often. I agree kickball is fun! That's the other game my extended family likes to play together.
