5 sports leagues to join in Atlanta to stay fit
Kids often join their friends in a pickup game of basketball, playing catch, or throwing the football. As adults, though, we rarely have the opportunity to do the same.
But why should kids be the only ones to enjoy these and other sporting activities? Thankfully, Atlanta offers many sports leagues where you can join the action and stay fit while doing so. From male- or female-only teams to co-ed teams, with friends or making new friends with your teammates, you’ll find something that matches your interests. Think everything from basketball and soccer to pickleball and cornhole — and so much in between. Many of these leagues also have social activities so you can continue the fun long after the competition has ended.
To get you started, check out these five Atlanta area sports leagues:
