Basement Sports
In times when the climate does not favour sports to be played outdoors,
the basement provides a valuable alternative. One can play ping-pong
otherwise known as table tennis in the basement.
Squash and badminton too can be played in the basement.
Squash, Badminton and table tennis
All the three sports involve opponents. If one is running or swimming
one tends to stop when one feels exhausted. If one has a suitable opponent
one tries to assert one's superiority and in the process stretches one's
effort.
Squash provides a physical and mental workout in a relatively short period
of time. It is the best game to burn those extra calories. It is a fast
sport.
In badminton the shuttlecock has to be hit across the net .It results
in a good upper body workout.
Table tennis is the second most popular sport in the world just after
soccer. Table tennis is a sport, which demands quick reflexes, speed
and good eye hand coordination. Endurance and reflexes matter more than
size and strength. People of all backgrounds and types can compete on
a level playing field. It is a thinking person's game and a universal
sport.
Indoor Gymnasium
One could have an indoor gymnasium in the basement with weights, treadmills,
exercise bicycles, bull-worker, climbing machines, skiing machines and
rowing machines. So one can keep fit without stepping outdoors.
Table top sports
Billiards, snooker and pool are played on big, flat, cloth covered tables
with pockets. The players are supposed to knock the balls into the pockets
using a cue ball hit with a stick, which is called cue.
Playing cards

which are divided equally into four suits clubs, hearts.spades and diamonds.
Each suit has the numbers 1 to 10 followed by the picture cards -king,
queen and jack.They are mental games.
Board sports
Various types of board games are played throughout the world, and quite
a few have been popular for centuries.
Games such as Monopoly and backgammon are a mixture of luck and skill.
Even though luck (usually the throw of dice) plays a part, choices made
by the players in the course of the game also help to decide who emerges
triumphant
Chess is a game of great skill that calls for the ability to plan moves
and recognize threats many steps ahead. There are different kinds of
pieces - king, queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn - and each has its
own special way of moving about the board. . The goal of the game is
to ensnare (checkmate) the enemy king by putting it in a position where
