Well, your constant mass means that you will still have the same inertia when playing sports. I would expect pairs of fractured skulls, pairs of broken shins in soccer players, etc.

Wow, soccer would be epic in low G!

Maybe ... you can't run much faster, so i'd imagine it would be like ultimate aerobee[0] - i.e., minutes-long chases of errant balls with no other player within hundreds of yards.

[0] is this a thing?

I've always dreamed of finding a field big enough and 10 people willing to play ultimate aerobee. If we can find 8 other people like us, want to rent a polo field?

That would be lame. Maybe, try massive multiplayer soccer, with an average of 1 player per square decameter? Now the captain's most important quality is management skills, and they might need a handful of squad leaders. I guess this isn't soccer anymore, but whatevs.
