Sports aren’t just for kids: The benefits of adult sports leagues

Tuesday at 9 a.m., MPR News guest host Dan Kraker and his guests are talking about ways to get active and play the sports you love as an adult, whether you’re a total beginner or an all-out fanatic.

The weather is warmer, and many are itching to enjoy the sunshine.  

In Minnesota, there’s a recreational team for just about every sport you can imagine — and you most likely don’t need to travel far to find them.  

And we want to hear from you, too.

Have you ever joined an adult recreational sports team? How has it benefited your life? Looking to join and become active in your community? What do you want to know about your options? 

Call 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828 during the 9 a.m. hour.  

Guests:  

• Rick Gebhardt is the Board President of the Twin Cities Ultimate League.

• Ryan Adams is the Soccer Director at Gray Ducks Soccer, Minnesota’s largest adult soccer club. Adams is a 10-year veteran organizer of community soccer and LGBTQ+ Athletics.
