Team Sports That Help You Keep Fit

Team Sports That Help You Keep Fit : I recommend taking up a sport to anyone and everyone. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a fitness beginner, sports can help make exercising more fun as well as being a great opportunity to meet people and make new friends. All the sports listed can be played indoors, meaning you can work out no matter the weather.

Volleyball

Thinking of volleyball probably conjures images of the sea and the sand but it does not have to be played on the beach. Indoor volleyball is very popular in cooler countries or landlocked locations. If you do not have a local club or team then get yourself the equipment needed for volleyball and start your own! It is a high energy sport that gets your heart rate up and improves your hand-eye coordination. And if you, fortunately, live in Sydney, then there are numerous volleyball clubs nearby that offer fantastic opportunities to play, learn, and compete. Join these up and immerse yourself in the sports world as a seasoned player or a beginner.

Tennis

Tennis requires a lot of different movements and you will need to be quick on your feet as well as quick with your racket. It can be quite demanding so you should already be at a decent fitness level before you consider competing against others. Tennis can be played one on one but doubles tennis means you have a teammate to help out.

Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is preferably played outdoors but it can be played indoors if necessary. It is surprisingly athletic and fast-paced but you do not necessarily need to have an athletic background. It is another non-contact sport and is often played with mixed-gender teams, meaning you can play with all your friends. Look into the rules of ultimate Frisbee to see if you and your friends would be interested in starting a league.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse is something a little different from your usual team sport and is just slowly gaining in popularity. Players carry a long lacrosse sticks with a mesh basket on the end meant to catch, hold and throw the ball and the aim of the game is to score a goal in the opposing team’s net. The rules differ slightly for men and women, with a ladies’ game being predominantly non-contact. Whereas the men’s version includes full-body contact and defence tactics.

Roller Derby

You have probably seen roller derby on TV and if you have then you will know what an exciting and intense game it is. Roller derby is definitely not a non-contact sport so make sure you are ready to get rough and are fully equipped with all the right safety gear. You will need a specialised track to play roller derby so best to do your research and find a league near you that you can join.

Handball

Handball involves seven players on each team and is played indoors – it is very similar to basketball but instead of a basketball hoop, there is a net similar to a football goal. The aim is to throw the ball past the keeper and score a goal which makes it like football but there are specific rules like the exclusion zone and you can only take three steps with the ball before you have to dribble or pass.
