Recreational sports

An unfamiliar sport is easier to choose when you compare how it feels to take part.

A good place to start

Start with a preference: teamwork, precision, rhythm, outdoor exploration or a skill you can practise at your own pace.

What to compare

  • Session format
  • Beginner access and trial commitment
Start with a taster

Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
