What are new sports? New sports were devised and introduced in the latter half of the 20th century. They are light, recreational activities designed to be inclusive. The three characteristics of new sports are (1) anyone can play at any age (2) enjoyment rather than competition (3) they are new to Japan, even if they have a history overseas.
