Is it possible for me to get hiv from playing sports with someone who has it? like from touching the same ball, frisbee etc.

No: You need intimate contact in the form of sexual activity, exchange of blood or body fluids, needle sharing or other such activities. Not transmitted casually or by inanimate objects.
