Radio-controlled model car, speedboat or sailing racing.

Archery

I've only been here for 3 years so my list may be a bit short. I came up with softball, beach volleyball, dragon boats and pickleball.

Are there other active based non-traditional activities going on within TV?

Exclude...golf, bowling, social clubs, cards, board games, shuffleboard etc.

Improv & scripted acting classes.

Was ballet lessons one of the activities that the movie about TV made fun of? Or was it belly dancing?

I must say all these high-risk activities for seniors is dizzying! And perhaps problematic if injuries occur because good healthcare is scarce here, as has been mentioned numerous times on these forums. In fact, I would cite that as the biggest drawback/failing of living here - inadequate or subpar medical services.
