  • The guys in my office started it about 15 years(!) ago - playing in the winter to stay in shape for golf in the summer. They were in their early 20s and I was pushing 40 at the time. People have come and left over the years. We picked up a pair of international PhD students two winters ago, then they graduated. We have about 12-14 on a group text and we do a roll call the night before to make sure we have enough to play. We use an open gym at the local rec center most of the year, and then commandeer outdoor courts wherever we find them when the rec center has kid camps in the summer. We’ve talked about joining a league, but we’re all busy professionals, many with families and young kids, so time is tight. There’s a lot of good-natured trash talk and we’re all pretty gassed by the end of the hour. I hate it when I miss because I get a better cardio workout than anything I would do myself.
