Participation in Sport and Physical Activity
Sport and physical activity is a major thing in the lives of many people in Australia. The people in Australia intend to spend more of their time on leisure than their work.

I always had interest in cricket as I have been brought around the culture of my parents and friends who always loved to watch cricket and also play cricket for fun.

But after a few weeks I was involved in playing in sports for school. The sport I played for the school was soccer. This allowed me to be more active in sport and be involved in physical
