Your basement is the perfect location to play many different types of sports when the weather makes it impossible to play them outside. Some great basement games include ping pong (table tennis), badminton, and squash. Squash, Badminton and Ping Pong
You need an opponent in all three of these sports, which is great for motivating you to continue playing even when you are tired. A great sport to test your body and your mind is squash. Since it is fast paced it will allow you to get a great work out in a short amount of time. You get a great upper body workout with badminton as you need to get the shuttlecock over the net. Ping pong is second only to soccer as the most popular sport in the world. To be good at ping pong you need speedy reflexes and excellent hand eye coordination. Ping pong can be enjoyed by people of all ages and all physical abilities. Other Indoor Sports Options
One idea is to create an indoor gym in your basement, complete with treadmills, exercise bicycles, rowing machines, climbing machines, and weight machines. This will allow you to get an excellent work out no matter what the weather. Another popular option for the basement is a billiards table for playing billiards, snooker, and pool. This sport uses a cue stick to place balls within pockets along the sides of the table. Card games and board games are another popular form of indoor entertainment. Card games usually engage the mind as you try to outwit your opponents. Many board games, such as backgammon and monopoly, are a combination of skill and luck as the roll of the dice in part determines your outcome. One great board game which requires mental skill is chess. There are different types of playing pieces, each with their own unique features. The goal of the game is to trap your opponents king.
