Hey guys, slightly sporty HS junior here. I definitely want to participate in club sports in college (for fun mostly, not going pro or anything), but I'm not sure which ones typically have a lower intensity. Do you guys know which are the easiest club sports in college?
Sure, it's fantastic that you're interested in participating in club sports! It's a great way to stay active in a more casual setting and make friends with similar interests. The intensity of club sports can vary widely depending on the school and the specific team, but there are a few sports that are generally seen as more laid-back.
1. Ultimate Frisbee: This is one popular laid-back club sport. Ultimate Frisbee is highly social and is often played on a coed basis. There's competition, of course, but the atmosphere generally remains fun and inclusive.
2. Intramural sports: These are great options for people looking for less intensity. Sports like softball, kickball, or even dodgeball tend to be popular intramural choices.
3. Leisure Sports: Think of activities like golf, sailing, or even equestrian. They may not be as laid back in terms of skill requirement, but they aren't typically as competitive or physically grueling as some other sports.
4. Outdoor Recreation: Clubs that focus on outdoor activities can also be a good choice. These might include hiking, skiing, climbing, or running clubs.
When choosing a club, I encourage you to attend a few different tryouts or introductory meetings. You'll get a sense not just of the sport itself, but also of the team culture and intensity level. Remember, the main goal is to enjoy yourself and make the most out of your college experience!
