as an adult, i don't know any adult who plays any team sports except pick-up basketball at the park, and this is a group of probably 20 relatively fit/healthy 40 something guys. many skiers. MANY golfers :|. a few cyclists. no football, no baseball, no soccer (actually maybe one now that i think about it), no volleyball. just not practical.
cycling, running, walking have the beauty of being sports that don't require a court/field. it's great.

Ok, so one of my examples is good for 2 decades past 'school years' based on your estimate. There are tons of men's leagues where I grew up, and many are specifically 40+.
But either way, the point was that there are a lot of 'school years' sports that people can continue to participate well after their school years are over.
Again- running, swimming, tennis, volleyball, golf, cycling, basketball, softball- all these can be played for a long time past school years. How many decades they can be enjoyed is obviously dependent on how each of us ages.
