I miss the old days where I used to join a sports team, bust my ass, play hard, fight for the wins, and build that great camaraderie with my teammates, sharing it on the field or in the pool, and in the locker room.

I work out alone at the gym, now.

Then I thought, what about a recreational sports league for adults. Anyone here do it? Did you make friends? How about the locker room scene? Is there one? The only sports I imagine where guys still strip together is hockey, since you need to have gear. I doubt if I joined a soccer league we'd be kicking back in the locker room afterward. There probably aren't even any locker rooms or showers.

Got any stories about rec sports? Bonding with your mates? Winning together and then stripping down and enjoying being men?

For my men’s league hockey, You take your equipment off, hop in the shower, then get dressed and have a few beers. No one is really hanging out naked. Hockey arenas here do seem to be only place around here still with open showers though if that interests you.

In my hockey leagues most guys don’t shower. Just get undressed to underwear and put street clothes on and off they go. Not really hot guys in my leagues haha

I played in a lacrosse rec league for a while, but there weren't even locker rooms. I definitely missed the team bonding.

It's a long time since I played recreational sport and showering was short and a matter of fact thing with little conversation then. The only banter and comments connected with sport and showering was at school.

I was an athlete in college and the guys on my team generally all had different class schedules so our workouts would be a bit staggered and everyone would spend a different amount of time in the training room and locker room after practice. So normally we wouldn't all be hanging in the locker room or showers all together. But when we had away competitions, we'd always take a group shower in the away locker rooms together, our coach would join us too. Generally things didn't get too rowdy because were all dead tired, but if we had a good day our coach would be a little more rambunctious and get us all chatting and goofing off a bit in the showers and locker room.

Same for me. I did sports all through college. Soccer, track, cross country. I miss that camaraderie of working together towards a shared goal, and the brotherhood of men celebrating a victory, or contemplating a defeat in the showers afterwards. Nothing quite like it.

I have done some recreational sports after college. Joined a soccer league, a running group, me, and a few guys did some long trek bike rides. But yeah, I agree with you. It’s very different and it’s hard to get that same camaraderie among guys when you don’t have a reason to be all together naked in a locker room/shower. It’s a bummer cause I think it’s really useful to the male psyche to have other dudes you can bond with and trust.
