I respect that everyone has different recreational desires, but the Villages is a place designed for 55+ seniors. I think the average age is a little north of 65. Soccer, flag football, and lacrosse are all sports I used to really enjoy playing, but old knees, hips, and backs prohibit most seniors from participating in such activities. In my opinion, the villages needs more sports pools so older folks, with aching joints, can participate in non weight bearing activities such as lap swimming. I understand that future generations might enjoy different activities than prior generations, but everyone’s bodies begin to break down as they age, regardless of their generation.
