How to Find a Sport That’s Right for You

Steps

  1. 1
    First of all, you may have to know which sport is suitable and good for you and your health.
     
  2. 2
    Call your city's recreation department to find out the sporting options in your area.
  3. 3
    Decide how much time you have to try out a sport. If you are a busy person, try one you can find time for in your full schedule, so you don't have to drop or miss your other activities.
  4. 4
    Pick a time that is convenient for you to sign up.
  5. 5
    Decide if you want to spend money to buy equipment or participate.
  6. 6
    Look up the rules of the sport online. Especially if it's a team sport, knowing the rules is essential.
  7. 7
    Show up for the first day. There is usually a coach around, so look for that person and ask him to show you a few tricks. Feel free to ask them about anything (like terms, rules and such) you don't know about.
  8. 8
    See how you feel the next day, physically and emotionally. A sport should, above all, make you feel relaxed and full of energy. Don't worry if you got muscle cramps; they're normal when you haven't practiced any sports recently, because your muscles are no longer used to making effort.
  9. 9
    Go back again if you had a good time.
  10. 10
    Try other sports that allow you to explore being alone or on a team.
  11. 11
    Surf a sports site online to learn more about the sport you are interested in.
  12. 12
    Keep at it once you find a sport that you love. Start practicing it on a regular basis.
