The other day when your child said, "Hey dad, let's go snowboarding!" you thought, "What is this new age activity?" Now I know this may come as a shock to you, but snowboarding isn't that new. Things have changed since you were a kid, and since you now have children of your own, you may want to find out what's "new" in the sports arena. Before you start grumbling about needless exercise, take a minute to think how your child's interest in sports could benefit you: when they are off practising with their teams, their friends, or individually, you will get some blissful you time on the couch. And although nothing could ever beat the good old javelin tournaments of your day, there may even be something that interests you in the games.
So brush up on your sports knowledge and try out some new sports.

This sport requires some serious hand-eye coordination so make sure you get your sports goggles |
In this game you kick the ball |
A little brutal, so make sure you don't get injured when your kid tackles you. Buy yourself some protective pads |
The good thing about basketball is that it is very easy to understand and it is fun whether you play recreationally or on a team. |
 |

 |
Volleyball can hurt the wrists and knees, so make sure to wear wrist and knee guards |
This is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it is definitely a good game to know how to play. Just make sure you have enough pizza rolls if you plan on feeding all of the (dozen or so) team members. |
I don't think many people realize that cheerleaders don't just root for teams, they are teams. And this sport requires a lot of practice and hard exercise. |
You may want to start exercising now because after joining this sport, your child is bound to have enough muscle to easily take you on. |

Help your kid gain a market-a-ball skill for when they grow up in a high society business world. |
Whether you play doubles or pairs, it is a racquet. |
This game was so good that an entire sports category carries its name. |
Don't squash you opponents or throw vegetables at the opposing players--this will not go over well. |
