Recreation games for youth

Schools, libraries or civic organizations often sponsor clubs for teenagers. Increasingly, it is possible for teenagers to find virtual clubs where they can connect online with others who share their interests.

Team sports are one of the most popular forms of recreational activities for teens 2. In addition to school-based sports teams, teens may join private teams or community teams.
