Being on a sports team is not only a great way to stay healthy and get exercise, but also a fun way to be social!
Here are 5 great reasons to join a sports league today:
1. Meet New People
Whether you are new to an area or have been there your whole life, it is always important and fun to meet new people. Joining a sports league will bring you close to people who have the same interests as you, and are most likely around your age.
Joining a sports league with a friend or partner is a great way to expand your social circle, while also having someone you know around so that you feel more comfortable.
2. Stay Active
Most of us aren’t getting enough exercise. 80% of all Americans don’t exercise enough (according to the Cleveland Clinic).
Staying active now will only benefit you in the long run. Sports teams come with built-in motivation and support from the other players, so that you meet your goals and have fun while working toward them.
3. Reduce Stress
Exercise is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are the neurotransmitters in our brains that make us feel happy. Endorphins boost your mood and help you relax.
When we exercise, we help our bodies to feel better, get the movement we need, sleep better and improve our posture. Make sure to choose a sport or form of exercise that you love and look forward to. Being excited about what you are doing will make you work harder, and be happier.
4. Improve Your Sports Skills
If you are playing a sport every week, you are going to get better at that sport! Joining an adult all-abilities league is a great way to get better at a sport you are already passionate about or discover a passion for something new.
Get out in your community today and do something you love, and that will make you happy!
5. Prioritize Yourself
Most adults with spouses and children tend to put themselves last. Parents need fun activities and self-care too! Joining a sports league will allow you to have some time doing something you enjoy, boost your confidence, and allow you to feel connected to people your age who have your interests.
Give yourself this time and enjoy doing something for yourself.
