    Cricket. There are many different roles in the team and you get to hang out outside with your teammates all day. Also, if it rains you go inside and have something to eat.

    Not the most professional, though there are world cups, but playing pétanque is surely something you can do til 65 and beyond!

    If esports count, I’d like to be like this guy and get a contract to play rhythm games professionally

    Otherwise… Probably swimming or race walking, not too many professional sports I could think of that one can do into their 60s without wrecking their body
