This fall, I’ll hopefully be attending a boarding school in New York. They offer a wide variety of sports, and although I’ve never been much of an athlete, I feel like it’s a great opportunity to try out something new. I really want to experience the joys of being on a sports team but, like I said before, I’m not an athlete.
So what I’m asking is this:
What would be a good sport out of the choices below that I could learn pretty quickly, isn’t too aggressive, and doesn’t require an insane amount of work (i.e., strength training for 2 hours a day)? Let me just add that I’m not lazy at all, but I don’t think I’ll have the time or energy to begin an extremely difficult sport.
Sports Available At The School:
Field Hockey
Soccer
Volleyball
Tennis
Cross Country
Swimming
Basketball
Lacrosse
Softball
Crew
Track
Thanks!
Any of these sports will require for you to dedicate time if you want to become good at it.
However if you are doing it just for the experience of joining a team, I suggest you either go for Volleyball or Softball. They may be less demanding (compared to the other sports) in terms of how fit you must be, while allowing you to spend time with your team mates and becoming part of a group.
Softball seems the laziest of your choices.

Try track, only do the field aspect of it instead, like throwing discus and shot put. I did that in high school and it was pretty fun, plus a lot easier than having to devote multiple hours a day to running.
The only problem is that track meets can last an extraordinarily long time, much longer than other games.

I would go for volleyball, you do get a work out but not as much as in the other sports. The learning curve is pretty quick too.

You did not mention that they might have a bowling team(league), alot of NY schools have them, look into them, you do not need a lot of strength to do good in that sport
