My extracurricular activities were more solo. I started with ballet as a kid and was into Pony Club from aged 8-18. I have not personally continued with sports, dance or horses at all. Although I am/have been actively involved as a volunteer in my kids sports at both a coach and an administrator. I was outside in my PJs last night acting as goalie as my son practiced his soccer kicks.

My husband, on the other hand, was a champion sportsman, winning a coveted high school scholarship for his swimming ability and playing rugby for a prominent Sydney team. They say opposites attract - LOL! :) #TeamLovinLifeLyndall @SeizeTheDayProjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601645461162905413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-64154397666926923332017-10-27T12:06:43.617+08:002017-10-27T12:06:43.617+08:00Great photos and memories, Leanne.

I started bball when I was 8 in a team with my friends called Rubies.. I didn't play netball until I was at high school. I later played a lot of bball rep teams (local, regional and also made the state squad) and played rep netball - just local and regional. <br /><br />I haven't played organised sport in decades however! #teamlovinlifeDebbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305239848096384084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-71981717699487795792017-10-27T09:38:45.869+08:002017-10-27T09:38:45.869+08:00I was never great sports wise Jo but team sports h...I was never great sports wise Jo but team sports helped balance my limited skills to one area and netball was a pretty calm sport back in the good old days.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-22512439908462157192017-10-27T09:37:51.179+08:002017-10-27T09:37:51.179+08:00I can see you as a hockey player Kathy - you have ...I can see you as a hockey player Kathy - you have that sporty go-gettum look about you that would have translated well to the field.

I was never great at sport because um short legs! I was no good at speed. However, I had good endurance and was good at things like cross country. I too used to play netball. Think I was goal attack or something like that. I was good at shooting goals, even if I was short. However, sport was not my passion and never really has been. I'm more the creative, dreamer type! lol Love these photo's..such treasures to have! #TeamLovinLife Min - Write of the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880899126465316282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-35145693614324740962017-10-26T09:07:57.525+08:002017-10-26T09:07:57.525+08:00you look like you'd be a gymnast Jodie - it se...you look like you'd be a gymnast Jodie - it seems to have paid off in Midlife for you too (I always think gymnasts are a bit like athletic ballerinas!)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-90774096862492245202017-10-26T07:04:59.893+08:002017-10-26T07:04:59.893+08:00I love seeing these old photos---how fun to remini...I love seeing these old photos---how fun to reminisce this way.<br />I was in gymnastics all throughout my young life, and it'd be so fun to find those photos!!<br />XOXO<br />Jodie<br />www.jtouchofstyle.comJodie's Touch of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453914318183037853noreply@blogger.com
