Fall is on the horizon, but for now the weather is still warm and pleasant, perfect for planning an outdoor get-together with friends. Since so many friendships thrive on the good-natured competition of sports and games, these sports are perfect for a group of friends to do together. They’d also be great ways to spend time with family or take someone on a date.

Best of all, these don’t require any great level of athletic skill, so you really can invite anyone to join you. Get active and have fun this summer when you make time for one of these three sports.

1
GOLF

A game of golf isn’t just a fun and friendly competition. It’s also a chance to enjoy the great outdoors, chat and spend time with friends or family, and get some exercise. Disc golf is a great alternative and may be more easily accessible. Bring along a friend, or your dad and brother, and get out on the green while the mild weather holds!

2
RAQUET SPORTS

Whether your game of choice is tennis, squash, or racquetball, racquet sports are a great form of exercise and, honestly, stress relief: Just try smashing some balls on the court next time you have a rough day!

3
BOATING

You might prefer kayaking, white-water rafting, or pitching in with friends to rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon. Whatever your plan is, everyone will enjoy a day out on the water: As Kenneth Grahame wrote in The Wind in the Willows, “There is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” If the day is a little chilly, just bring a sweater, and you’ll still have a blast (and possibly score a deal on rentals in the “off season!”).
