We really enjoy spring here at Trophy Central. It’s a great time of year for many reasons, but our favorite is the awesome spring sports that can be played. Below you’ll find a “Top Ten” list with our favorite spring sports (complete with links to the trophies we have available for those sports).

 

 

1. Baseball–Of course baseball has to be number one! It’s America’s pastime and definitely the classic sport that comes to mind when you think spring. We can almost taste the Cracker Jacks….

 

 

 

 

2. Golf–This is a relaxing and fun sport that can be used throughout life. This is a sport that can be played competitively or for fun and is great in a group or solo. This sport also provides some fantastic travel opportunities as there are beautiful golf courses to be seen all over the world! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Track–This is a sport in and of itself, but it also a great way to train and stay in shape for other sports. The skills that are developed from the different track events are beneficiary in all aspects. You can also decide from a number of events to find what you’re good at–if long distance isn’t your forte, try out shorter, quicker distances and vice versa. Let’s not forget about the relays and how fun and exciting those are to watch!

 

 

 

 

4. Softball–If you’re a fan of baseball, then you probably love softball, too. There are just a couple of differences between the two sports, but otherwise they’re pretty similar. This is a great team sport to play and is equally fun to participate in competitively or just for fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Volleyball–This is typically a fall sport when played in a traditional gymnasium, but it turns into a sport for spring and summer when the game is taken out to the sand. If you’ve played both in the sand and in a gym, than you know how different the two can be. Personally, we think that it’s a lot more fun to play in the sand but that it creates a bit of a challenge when moving and jumping! The sand adds to the work-out, so it’s pretty beneficial.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Soccer–According to Sporteology, soccer is the most popular sport in the world so of course it made our “Top Ten” list. Soccer is fun to watch and play and in other areas of the world it is sometimes called “football”. Are you one of the 3.5 billion soccer fans in the world? We are!

 

 

 

 

 

7. Karate–This is a sport that can be used for a lifetime. There are so many skills that are learned in karate, not only physical, but also mental with the amount of discipline and respect that is taught and practiced. Karate is a sport that can be done year-round, but we couldn’t forget it on our list for spring!

 

 

 

 

8. Curling–This is quickly becoming a popular sport, so get ready to see a lot more of it in the near future! If you’re unfamiliar with it, the sport involves sliding granite stones on a sheet of ice towards and area of four concentric circles, with points awarded according to where the stones land in relation to the center. Although this is played on ice, it can be played year-round indoors. If you’re looking for a fun, new spring sport to take up, look for a curling center in your area!

 

 

 

 

 

9. Bicycling–Those that live in an area with cold weather are excited to see spring arrive when they are able to take their bicycle out and hit the pavement. This is a worldwide sport when many begin their intense training upon the arrival of the spring season. The Tour de France and many other races take place in the summer months. This is a sport that can be anywhere on the spectrum of competitive racing to a slow, relaxing Sunday ride through a park.

 

 

 

10. Badminton–This is last on our list but definitely not least! Badminton is played in the spring for high school and college leagues, and can be watched during the Summer Olympics. This sport is great for hand-eye coordination and is pretty fun!
