You do NOT have to be good, like a previous poster mentioned. All you need is a certain level of enthusiasm.
From personal experience, I am not the skilled soccer player around but I'm good at running around for the ball (being pretty fast, long legs, etc.) and got into great shape (flat stomach too!) from playing city league womens soccer. Seriously - if you can make it onto any team where you actually like the sport being played, it goes a long way.
You'll be exercising almost the entire time without actually feeling like your exercising.
It helps to be an A-type competitive person, b/c you'll work so hard for fear of losing!
Man, I really need to get back to that soccer...

I am really that bad. Even playing street hockey in university, the game starts to suck and you stop having fun when you realize that nobody wants to pass to you and you're hopeless at getting the puck. I guess it's a childhood prejudice against team sports that I have. I did kung-fu as a kid and am still really flexible. Does anybody do martial arts or kickboxing type things here?
