FAQs

Wednesday or Friday nights.

Where does Adult 7v7 Rec play?

We are playing at Lakeridge Middle School. If locations change, it will be in a location with lights.

Why should adults continue to play recreational sports?

Adults should continue to play recreational sports for several compelling reasons. Engaging in sports beyond childhood offers many physical, mental, and social benefits. Here are some key advantages:

  • Physical Health: Regular participation in recreational sports helps maintain and improve physical fitness, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
  • Stress Relief: Sports provide an effective outlet for stress relief, releasing endorphins that promote relaxation and mental well-being.
  • Social Interaction: Playing sports fosters social connections and teamwork, enhancing one’s social life and building strong friendships.
  • Cognitive Benefits: Sports challenge the mind through strategy and decision-making, improving cognitive skills like problem-solving and focus.
  • Work-Life Balance: Engaging in recreational sports helps adults achieve a healthy work-life balance by encouraging physical activity and leisure.
  • Fun and Enjoyment: Most importantly, recreational sports are fun and enjoyable, making them a sustainable and fulfilling hobby for adults of all ages.

Continuing to play recreational sports as an adult contributes to overall well-being, offering a holistic approach to physical and mental health while fostering social connections and personal enjoyment.
