October 16th is National Sports Day and it’s the prime day for it! The weather turns from hot summer into the mild fall where we get basketball season, playoff baseball, hockey season is starting, and football is completely underway at this point.

It’s the perfect time to get out and enjoy playing a backyard game with your friends and family. Whether it’s shooting hoops in the driveway or throwing a football around in the yard, National Sports Day is amazing for people to get out and enjoy a beautiful day.

Wale Rocks, with the help of the National Day Calendar, founded National Sports Day in the United States to celebrate athletes and the family and friends around them. National Sports Day is about the healthy competition between people that play sports both recreationally and professionally.

It gives kids a chance to learn about healthy fun and it gives adults a chance to relive some of the good parts of their childhood. It also gives parents a chance to teach their kids a new skill and potentially a new hobby to do while the weather is permitting.

People sometimes don’t get to go outside and enjoy a friendly game of wiffleball or backyard football like they did when they were younger and National Sports Day gives them the perfect opportunity to do just that! Use this day to celebrate family, friends, and the nice weather outside!
