Sport and recreation can be defined as the vast array of activities that people pursue in their leisure time. For instance, classes, toy and sporting good manufacturing and collection.

Clubs (hospitality) contain businesses engaged in activities associated with sport and recreation and may have volunteering opportunities. Including teaching skills to those who want to learn.

Recreational sports are those activities where the primary purpose of the activity is participation, with the related goals of improved physical fitness, fun, and social involvement often prominent. Recreational sports are usually perceived as being less stressful, both physically and mentally, on the participants.

You can organise a golf day, collect gently used sporting gear and donate and earn your volunteer hours.

Examples of recreation activities are walking, swimming, meditation, reading, playing games and dancing. It is during leisure time that people participate in recreation and sporting activities. Sport refers to any type of organized physical activity, e.g. soccer, rugby, football, basketball and athletics.

When we continue doing a work or performing an activity regularly and continuously for some hours, it gives us physical and mental fatigue and strain. Recreational activity relieves us of the feeling of fatigue, restores our energy and promotes a sense of joy.

And now you can earn hours while participating with opportunities offered by organisations.
