Social
Social sports are modified to provide faster, less formal, and less competitive formats.
Modified sports can also be aimed at providing faster, less formal, and more social formats that can cater to the needs of participants, at any age. These modified sports seek to engage people who are either time poor or enjoy being active but with less emphasis on competition. Social sports may also reduce the cost of equipment and venue access.
More information about social sport, organised, and non-organised sport can be found in the What is Sport? topic.
