I realy enjoy learning various sports and by "learning" I mean read relevant books or articles, search for internet sources, learn basic techniques, buy my own basic equipment, etc.
So, I might be an amateur in all the sports that I mention below, but I am a serious amateur who is looking to improve his skills and maximize the joy that each one of these sports may offer.
Here is a list of mySports, in alphabetical order:
1. Archery
I participated in a local amateur club just for a couple of months. Unfortunately the time was not very convenient so that I lose half of thw workout. Anyway, I managed to learn just the basic, but I feel comfortable to throw arrows using both, a Recurve (classic) or Compound (hunting) Bow.
2. Beach Volleyball
A summer activity. Not very active, not many hours but I can be a decent team member due to my past involvement with the classic Volleyball. Well, if a game is prepared and a player is missing, I would never hasitate to fill the gap.
3. Billiard
American, 9-ball and French are the types that I can play fair enough. Snooker is my favourite, but I never managed to become a good player. I play billiards for many years, always with friends, never in a league. I enjoy the game, along with my drink or coffee, whatever the outcome may be.

3. Bowling see my relevant Blog (Greek language)
One of my favourite sports. I read a lot. I studied it in detail and I practiced a lot, always in an amateur level. I always played bowling in a friendly environment, but now (March 2012), I entered in an Seniors Amateur League, for the first time. I play every Monday night and I hope for the best.

4. Mountain Cycling
Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain biking is generally divided into multiple categories like "Cross Country", Trail Riding", "All Mountain", "Downhill", "Freeride", "Dirt Jumping" and "Trials". The majority of mountain biking falls into the recreational XC, and Trail Riding categories.
Four years ago, this was my favourite activity. Almost each Saturday or Sunday we picked our mountain bikes and were making a really difficult climbs and steep mountain trails.
5. Sea Rackets
During summer months and especially each weekend that we visit the local beach ans also during summer vacations, Sea Racket become my main outdoor activity. Along with my son, who has become a great player and other friends, we spend a lot of time in this excelent outdoor activity, burning fat and cholesterol and preparing our bodys for the afternoon beers.
6. Shotgun Shooting
There are three major forms of competitive clay pigeon shooting (shotgun shooting at clay targets). These are "Trap Shooting", "Skeet Shooting" and "Sporting Clays". I realy enjoy each one of these forms of game. "Sporting Clays" is the most popular among amateur shooters and hunters because it mimics the movement of animals or the fly of the birds. Trap and Skeet Shooting is preferred by professional shooters.
7. Table Tennis (Ping Pong)
