Sundays are your chance to recharge, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend the whole day binge-watching another series. If you’re looking for something active and social, why not make Sunday the day to get moving with your mates?
Social sports are the ultimate way to stay fit, have fun, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition — and there’s something out there for everyone, no matter your vibe. You’ll never be able to go without the laughs, the connections and, maybe a cheeky drink after you’re done, again.
Ready to swap the couch for something a bit more exciting? Here are five social sports to try this Sunday.
Take on Beach Volleyball
If you’re near coastal spots like Newcastle or Wollongong, beach volleyball is a no-brainer. It’s an unbeatable way to spend a Sunday with friends and when you’re done, there’s nothing like kicking back with your crew and enjoying the ocean breeze.
Bonus points for bringing along a refreshing, low-carb bevvy like Hahn Ultra Zero Carb to keep the beach vibes going without the bloat.
Join a Game of Touch Football
Touch football is the ultimate team sport, offering a mix of friendly competition and plenty of cardio. Cities like Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne have thriving touch footy scenes, so it’s easy to find a local league to join.
It’s fast-paced but inclusive, making it perfect for players of all experience levels. After running around all afternoon, a crisp, low-carb beer is the perfect reward to cap off your day.
Jump on the Pickleball Bandwagon
Pickleball is quickly becoming a Sunday favourite in places like Adelaide and Sydney. The sport combines the best of tennis and table tennis, making it a hit with anyone looking for a low-stress but highly enjoyable activity.
With its smaller court size and easy-to-learn rules, you’ll be rallying with your mates in no time. Afterwards, there’s nothing better than decompressing over a light drink that won’t undo your hard work on the court.
Join a Social Netball Team
Netball is a classic for a reason — it’s fast, fun, and packed with team spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just there to give it a go, netball leagues in cities like Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane cater to all skill levels.
It’s an easy way to stay active and bond with friends, with plenty of laughs along the way (especially when someone forgets they can’t run with the ball).
Try a Multisport League
Can’t commit to just one sport? Cities like Canberra, Adelaide and Sydney offer multisport leagues where you can mix things up. One week it’s netball, the next it’s dodgeball or soccer — keeping your Sundays fresh and exciting.
These leagues are great for making new friends while keeping active, and the variety ensures there’s something for everyone. Once the final whistle blows, unwind with your teammates and celebrate the day over a cold one.
Social sports are the perfect way to shake up your weekend routine and reconnect with friends, all while keeping active. And when the game’s done, nothing tops off the day like a refreshing drink, like Hahn Ultra Zero Carb — which is under 0.5g carbs and just 87 calories per bottle — that matches the vibe.
So grab your mates, find your sport, and make this Sunday one to remember. Mondays will thank you.
