Australia Sports and Recreation





       Most Australians enjoy such recreation as visiting friends, going for a drive or walk, or watching television. Outdoor sports are extremely popular. Many people enjoy skin diving, surfing, swimming, or boating.
         Many also play golf and tennis. Team sports are a national pastime. Australians begin to play team sports in primary school, and many continue to play them throughout life. The best players may work their way up through local and state competitions and perhaps win a position in one of the national teams. The nation's professional sports teams have large and enthusiastic followings.
         The most popular team sports in Australia are cricket, Australian Rules football, Rugby League, Rugby Union, and soccer. Cricket is a favourite summer sport in Australia. The Australian national cricket team regularly plays against teams from England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and the West Indies. Australian Rules football, Rugby League, Rugby Union, and soccer are played mainly during the winter.
         Australian Rules football was invented in Australia and is played only there and in the former Australian possession of Papua New Guinea. It is especially popular in southern Australia. Rugby League and Rugby Union are forms of football that were invented in England. Rugby League is the professional form of the sport, and Rugby Union is the amateur form.
         Australia plays Rugby League and Rugby Union chiefly against Britain, France, and New Zealand. Soccer is the fastest-growing team sport in Australia. The national soccer team plays teams from many other countries. Australia has produced many world-famous athletes, especially in tennis, golf, swimming, and athletics. Australians have won numerous Olympic medals in swimming, athletics, rowing, cycling, and yachting. They also compete successfully in the international sport of surfing.
