Playing Indoors: What Sorts of Sports Are Held Indoors?

Back in the day, if something was played indoors, it was highly dubious that someone would consider it to be a sport. Today, things are not nearly as cut and dried as before. In fact, there are now A LOT of different sports that are held indoors.

We hope that you join us today as we discuss a few of them. Let’s get started!

Swimming

When it comes to the sport of swimming, it is highly possible that it can be held outdoors. However, for official contests and competitions, people want to lessen the impact of the outdoors on the performance of athletes.

Therefore, a majority of swimming events are now predominantly held indoors. So the swimmers can just focus on their performance and less on glare from the sun or wind conditions.

ESports

The advent of eSports really changed the way people saw computer games and other things that could be done through a computer. As eSports are usually done through computers and internet connections, it only made sense to hold such events indoors.

Poker tournaments fall under this category as well. The venue may change but they are always indoors.

Basketball

Basketball is one of the more popular sports that are played around the world. While it is completely feasible to play this outdoors, official games are usually held indoors. The courts need to be in a condition that would allow the players to really run and turn in safety.

There are a lot of other sports out there that are played indoors. The three we’ve mentioned are just a few of them. Each of them allow people to enjoy physical activities that spare them from the outdoor conditions which can be quite harsh. What other indoor sports do you know of? We’d love to know your thoughts on this.
