We play road hockey at lunch. You can use the parking lot or the street (we have a rarely used street right next to our work).
We play twice a week and experience isn't necessary. You can get a stick from Wal-Mart for $10 so it doesn't cost a heck of a lot. We generally have from 8 to 15 players show up to play (from a company of ~60).
Just remember to keep it friendly. No hard shots, no raising above the knees. You don't even need to keep score.
We also have a team in the High-Tech Softball League here in town. ~1 game a week after work gives a couple of hours of exercise.
Also, this is a great way to get to know the rest of the people in the company which makes everyone happy. We have everyone from Directors, Managers, programmers, manufacturing, shipping/receiving and IT playing.
