Sports activities enjoyed by Hutterites are hockey, volleyball, baseball, soccer, football, lacrosse and others.

During winter, many Hutterites play hockey on rivers or ponds.  Some colonies have constructed outdoor hockey rinks for their young people.  Many winter afternoons or evenings are spent playing hockey.

During the summer, sports activities are a lot more varied than in winter.  Volley ball and baseball are probably the Hutterian favorites.   Other sports, such as soccer and touch football are played as well, but not to the same degree. 

In some more conservative colonies all forms of sports are prohibited.  In others, it is frowned on, but accepted.

The Schmiedeleut branch of the Hutterites generally do not discourage sports.   They believe that being active in sports is a good alternative to other less desirable pursuits.   In addition, it provides an ideal opportunity for co-operation among Hutterian young people.
