Squash is a popular indoor sport. It is often played between two, though upto four players can play the game at one time. The size of the court varies, though it is usually the same size as half a badminton court. The idea of squash is to hit a ball against a wall, with the ball expected to fall within the highlighted area below. Usually the ball is hit with some force, to help it on its way to the area, as well as increasing the difficulty for the opposition, which of course, in a four player match, gets increasingly difficult, due to the amount of players.

Usually, five a sides are popular all year round. Just as much as outdoor sports, many see this as a great way to keep in shape, and for fun. One could argue though, that indoor sports are more popular in the winter time than the summer time as it is much colder outside, thus hampering an athete’s ability, as well as decreasing his body temperature. Since the exact same sports can be played inside as out, there is no reason why an athlete can’t enjoy his favourite sports, but just in a different type of playing field, then that ouside.

Indoor sports are a great past time and hobby for many individuals. Indeed, as with any type of sports, it has its drawbacks, but many like to overlook these. For example, indoor sports can only offer a limited amount of players to participate in certain games, a five a side football game is an example compared to eleven aside on a playing field. However, indoor sports do keep individuals warm and also offer the same type of sports as those you would find outside (with the exception of cricket and rounders). Indoor sports can be used to train athletes into better sportsman, just the same as outdoor sports.

five a side football is a popular sport for many athletes and sportsman. It pits five players against five players, with one player in net for each team. The idea of the game is to alternate between attack and defence, whenever it is more suitable to do that particular style. The pitch of a five a side is much smaller than normal footballing fields, due to it being inside, and due to it being for only ten players at a time. The game can be played as a friendly, or players can participate in a tournament. Referees do take part in five a side games, but only when it is a tournament.

One of few indoor water sports, water polo Is another ball based sport. The idea of the game is to navigate the ball throughout the ‘pitch’ by throwing it to various team members, and then throwing it into the opposing team’s net, which in turn gains a point.
Kind of like football, water polo features defenders, attackers and a goalkeeper. Whilst playing, a player cannot swim with the ball, but rather swim into position to receive the ball (nor can a player swim underwater with the ball). This game is often played in leisure centres as the direction of wind wont have an effect on the ball, or the players.

The aim of this sport is to beat the other team by a larger score margin. This can be accomplished by working in a team to score goals, which are technically points. 5 a side football is very similar to the sport football, however, there are several different rules. For example, as in the name, there are only five players compared to eleven, secondly, a player may not hit a ball over head height or score a goal in the ‘D’ of the goal. Since it is an indoor sport, the ball is more than likely to rebound of a wall due to a player’s direction of the ball.

Badminton is a racket sport. The sport involves either a one-on-one match or teams of two-v-two wherein the player has to hit a shuttlecock over a net into their fellow competitor’s side. To begin the game, a player must serve (which means hitting the shuttlecock to the counter-player’s side) and the server changes after each round.
If the shuttlecock is hit outside of the opposing player’s ‘W’ shaped area, then the serve or shot doesn’t gain a point as it is outside the playing area. Badminton rackets aren’t too different compared to tennis rackets, the difference being is that the badminton rackets are a lot slimmer, allowing lighter hits to the shuttlecock.

Indoor basketball, as in its name is an indoor sport which is based on a court with two opposing nets. The nets are held by a pole so that a player may ‘throw’ the ball from a certain area within the court into the net, by doing so, that earns the team points. Whilst in game, a player cannot run with the ball, unless they bounce it directly against the floor.
There are usually five players in basketball though the game is also played socially and can be played with the simple number of just two people at a time!
