Intramural and league sports are also great ways to connect with new friends, see current friends on a weekly basis (because life gets busier and friendships become harder the older you get), and become a part of a new community! We are big advocates of joining a sports league, and love that Dallas has so many great offerings, along with varying skill levels and vibes, whether you want to crush the competition or throw back some beers while meeting new people.
