Hello,
I am not an astronaut, and I don't think any of the other Solar Week scientists are astronauts either, so none of us have played sports in outer space. However, I do know that it is very important for astronauts to get exercise while they are in outer space. Here is an article that explains how astronauts exercise in space and why it is important:

Scientists like me who are pretty much earthbound generally do not do things like throw softballs or frisbees around the lab, because it could damage computers and other expensive equipment. I do have a jar of brain-shaped bean bags for juggling on my desk, but I
don't use them very often and I make sure I stay out of the labs and far, far away from anything
that can get broken when I do! When I get tired of sitting at my computer at work, all I have to do to get some exercise is just get up and go for a walk outside. A lot of the scientists I know also like to go walking, running, or biking and play sports like soccer or ultimate frisbee in their spare time - we just don't do those things at work in our offices or labs.
