Sports

Among the most popular leisure time activities are sports of every kind.

Golf, one of the most popular participation sports, is played all year except when the ground is covered with snow. The only equipment you need for golf is a set of clubs and balls.

Another popular is bowling. It is estimated that millions of people bowl in the United States. Many bowling leagues are formed by members of organizations such as churches or charitable groups.

Skiing attracts both individuals and families. It is more expensive than many other sports. So skiers with more time and money go to resorts in Colorado or the Alps.

Tennis has become popular as a participation sport. It is played all year in- or outdoors and does not require much equipment.

One of the most popular British sports is rugby. It is a type of football in which all players are allowed to handle the oval ball. There is also a lot of hard physical contact. The ball is passed by hand. Running with the ball and passing it are the most important and exciting skills.
