Don’t let the rain stop you from channeling your competitive spirit. Here are the best indoor sports you can play and where you can play them!
Let’s face it — it’s challenging to get things done during the rainy season. The gloomy skies, cold weather, and strong rains can make staying at home and lounging around more tempting than usual.
But if you’re like us and can’t keep away from a golf course or a football field for long enough, we get it. So, to channel the athlete in you even when the weather doesn’t agree with many outdoor sports, here are some indoor sports you can try and where to try them!
Racket sports
Let’s start with an obvious one here. Racket sports are a go-to way for many to stay active even when the rain starts pouring. And the best part is that there are many options to choose from!
Some popular racket sports include tennis, badminton, squash, pickleball, padel, and even table tennis. And if you have yet to try these, you can use up the rainy season to learn something new!
