Trying something new can be a pretty scary thing and sports are definitely no exception. They’re challenging, they’re physically demanding, and you’ll have a lot of pressure on you from the rest of your team. After all, everyone wants to win and no one wants to lose but that isn’t what is important here. What often stops people from trying new sports is the amount of money involved to get going. Well, we have 4 Cheap Sports To Try that we think you are going to like. Not only are they cheap to get started with but they’re fun too! Now, are you ready to get started with the list? Good, because we are ready to start too!
Basketball
The first sport to make our list is basketball. Why? Because literally all you need is a basketball which will cost you $30 at the very most. That’s also being very generous as you can get a cheaper basketball for around $4 or $5 but we went the Spaulding route as it is our favorite brand of basketball next to Nike. Now, do you want to give basketball a try?
Baseball
Baseball is a little more expensive to start than basketball as not only do you need a ball but you also need a bat (and probably some protective gear if you want to play it smart). The only reason that we put basketball over baseball other than random coincidence is because you kind of need two people to practice baseball but you don’t for basketball.
Tennis
Tennis is the third cheap sport on our list and while it can get pretty pricey over time, it’s pretty cheap to start. For under $30, you can get a beginner’s racket and a tube of balls. Don’t have someone to practice with? That’s fine! Find a flat wall such as your garage door or the side of your house to practice on. Just be sure not to break any of your windows.
Boxing
Finally, the last sport that we have for you on this list is boxing. It may be a little tough for you to find a boxing gym in your area depending on where you live but the only money you will really have to spend on boxing is on your gym membership. The gym should have just about everything that you need. The only thing you’ll want to buy is a good pair of shoes, shorts, and a mouthpiece. If you’re a male, you may want to consider buying a cup as well.
Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep procrastinating and wishing that you could try a new sport for the first time or will you get out there and do it? It won’t cost you a lot of money, you’ll get some quality exercise, and most of all, you’ll have a blast. As we mentioned above, we know it can be scary to start something new but in the very end, it’ll all be worth it. Now, let’s get up, get active, save some money, and have a blast!
