As previously mentioned, when it comes to sports, I prefer playing way more than watching. Another sport that's really fun is volleyball (in particular beach volleyball).
When it comes to beach volleyball there's one thing that will give you a major advantage. With a pair of sunglasses (or sport glasses), you'll be able to look up without blinding yourself and also avoid getting sand in your eyes. In the same way that swimming should only be done with goggles, beach volleyball should be played with sunglasses.
