April Showers

Well League Lifers, it's the last week of March. That means that we have some April showers in our future. On a rainy day, it's difficult to play many of the sports that were in our last post. Here are some great rainy day alternatives for some spring fun.

Racquetball

Racquetball is played with two to four people, but you can also play it by yourself. It's very fast-paced but it is a great workout.

Swimming

Swimming laps is a great way to burn a lot of calories. You can swim the classic free style stroke or be adventurous and try some others like the butterfly. If you want to get a group together, you can play games like marco polo or basketball. You could even have a good old fashioned cannonball contest.

Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a great activity to play indoors. You and your friends can make it as intense as you'd like. This is a game where you need a good number of people, but the more the merrier.

Board Games

If you're the kind of person who likes to sit around the house on a rainy day, you can still find ways to have fun. Invite your friends and family over to play some board games. You could go old school with games like Monopoly and Scrabble or you could try some new games like Apples to Apples and Catchphrase. If you don't have any board games, you can always grab a deck of cards and play the classic card games.

Rugby/Soccer

If you still want to get outside when it rains, the best thing to do is to go out and play rugby or soccer. They're great games by themselves, but it's even more fun to play them in the mud. Don't be afraid to get down and dirty and to play a little rough!
