If you’re running short on summer activities, we’ve got some ideas for you. In this episode of ITK: Summer Amplified, we show you how you can start a neighborhood sports league. It’s the perfect way to level up your summer evenings. Get outside and spend time with your community with these practical, helpful tips.

Neighborhood sports league hack 1: Rally the neighborhood by hanging flyers around town.

Start by letting your community know that you’re planning to start a sports league by making cute flyers and sharing them around where people will see them.

Neighborhood sports league hack 2: Change the sport every week.

Keep the games interesting, and keep everyone on their toes by changing the sport every week. You can incorporate sports like wiffle ball, kickball, volleyball, soccer and more when you switch up the game every week. Plus, this way ensures everyone plays something they enjoy.

Neighborhood sports league hack 3: Pick teams.

Enjoy some friendly rivalry when you divide the group up into separate teams. You can engage in fun competition this way and keep the sports a little more interesting. It’s even more fun if you use colored bandanas to signify the different teams or make cute T-shirts to support team spirit.

Neighborhood sports league hack 4: Pack a cooler of drinks and snacks.

No game day is complete without refreshments, so make sure you plan accordingly when you organize a neighborhood sports lake. Fill a cooler with water, sports drinks and fruit to make sure everyone stays hydrated.
