Combining sports and mingling

Let's say your new to town and you don't know many people. But you want to make friends. What do you do? Head to the nearest bar and hope someone will strike up a conversation? Nah ... why don't you join a sports rec league? I saw this company being advertised on local TV this morning, and I think it's a great idea -- a way to meet people through team sports. Choose from beach volleyball, dodgeball, basketball, soccer, slow pitch, ultimate, floor hockey or football -- and there's only one rule: have fun!

I'm not one for team sports usually, but if the fun comes first, I think I can handle something like this. How about you?
