The Best Fall Sports Available During COVID in 2020

By Posted on
  • Tennis

    Tennis

    Labeling tennis a “full body workout” is an understatement. Not only does tennis keep players on their toes, but this back-and-forth sport keeps minds and reflexes sharp! Time flies by as players can only stay focused on the ball. New York City is offering opportunities for kids of all ages to pick up a racket at places like Advantage Tennis,  Asphalt Green, Yorkville, Tennis Innovators , and Gotham City Tennis.
  • Lacrosse

    Lacrosse

    Building endurance is inevitable with the fast paced game of lacrosse. Learning to properly maneuver a lacrosse stick can certainly be a challenging task, but once players get the hang of it, nothing can stop them! Nothing teaches coordination like lacrosse. Youth signups are available for the fall at Docs NYC and Brooklyn Lacrosse.
  • Soccer

    Soccer

    It’s all about the footwork. Soccer is a great way for kids to learn what it means to be a team player, and to think on their feet (literally). This is such a fun game to play, and chances are your child will fall in love with it quickly! Youth soccer team signups are available through Yorkville and Chelsea Piers.

    .
  • Basketball

    Basketball

    Okay, so, basketball is technically a winter sport, but it’s no less fun in the fall! Signups are available for this fall at both Yorkville and Chelsea Piers. Basketball builds incredible endurance for athletes, with tons of running, jumping, and dribbling. This is the perfect sport for those speedy, blossoming athletes.
  • Virtual Martial Arts

Your family can stay at home safely, while building strength, motor skills, focus, and character.
  • Baseball

    Baseball

    Baseball is an incredible sport that challenges its players to think about all possible outcomes, on the fly. Batters are left to their own judgement when deciding whether or not to run to first base or all the way home! It’s a team sport that boosts understanding of collaboration and decision-making. Baseball team signups are available through Yorkville and Chelsea Piers. Little league is available through Greenwich Village Little League.
  • Football

    Football

    Football is definitely not for the faint of heart! This sport is perfect for those speedy sprinters who don’t mind getting a few grass stains on them. Football builds strength quickly and gets its players ready to play in no time! Chelsea Piers  and Fastbreak Sports  are offering team signups for the fall. If this sounds like something your loved one might be interested in, check it out!
  • Volleyball

    Volleyball

    Playing volleyball is a great way for kids to gain muscle strength, and work on communication. It’s a great social activity, meaning this sport is a great opportunity to make friends. Asphalt green is offering indoor volleyball this fall. Sign up!
