Fun Summer Sports

All summer sports through the school have tryouts before school ends so here are some fun sport activities to play with your friends or some different sports that are not through the school.

Beach volleyball

There are different competitive teams you can join for beach volleyball, but you can also play volleyball in the sand at Canyon View with your friends. Beach volleyball is different from court volleyball because instead of you having six people on your team there are 2 people on your team, so it is a lot more physically exhausting because you’re always on the hustle. But this is very fun to play and it’s great bonding with your friends or family. “I enjoy playing beach volleyball because it is very fun,” said Onika Samayoa.

Tennis 

Games like tennis and pickleball are very fun to play at random times with your friends. Here in Fruita you can go to the rec center and use their equipment and their courts. Tennis is played with 2 or 4 people and you use a racquet to hit the ball over the net. It’s a skill game that can take some time to get good at. Tennis is a favorite for summer sports or activities. 

Golf 

Golf is very fun because there are different ways to play golf. You can play real golf on the golf course or you can play mini golf at an activity center. Golf is a sport that some people take very seriously and some just want to have fun with it, so you can decide how you want to play golf. There are multiple different golf courses in Grand Junction but we do have a golf course in Fruita which is called Adobe Creek. “I love to go golfing with my dad during the summer.” Reagan Bernal

Rock climbing 

Rock climbing is a very fun activity to do in your free time. There are two places in Grand Junction where you can rock climb indoors. You can go to Grand Valley Climbing located on 25rd or Grip Bouldering located on Scarlet Dr. Although real rock climbing can be very dangerous, it’s very thrilling to people and there are places that offer outside rock climbing, which is safer. Rock climbing could just be a hobby or it could be your sport.
