Sport has many possible roles which you could take on at different stages of your life Most people start as players and carry on as long as they are fit enough but many switch to other sports such as badminton or golf which can still be good for health and fitness however you can normally carry on for longer. Ex-players often go into leadership roles such as coaches as organisers because they have the experience of playing and working with young people. This role is also as active as you want to make it so that it still helps maintain fitness and health. Many officials in sport have been performers at a younger age however the now enjoy refereeing or umpiring, There are many qualifications you can get as there are in coaching which means that both coaches and officials can stay fit and involved in sport for many years.
