Speed sports (where the goal is to be as quick as possible. No or very little contact with your opponents.):

Precision sports (where the goal is to be as accurate as possible in throwing, tossing, rolling, ... No or very little contact with your opponents.):

Ball sports (where you and your opponent(s) are working to get control of and place a ball):

Fighting (where you and your opponents compete against each other using your strength and speed in contact.):

Motor sports (where you use the power of an engine as an important part of the sport.):

Combination sports (where the winning is decided by putting together results from several of the other categories):

Comparison sports (where the winning is decided by a judge):

Hunting sports (where the sport is to find, lure, catch some animal):

Brain-sports (where you have to think) - Card Games:

Brain-sports (where you have to think) - Board Games:
