According to ESPN, curling is among the five easiest sports to practice. It requires great precision and strategy, but does not require extreme physical strength to achieve the goal — which is to get granite stones as close as possible to the center of a target.

Curling practiced on a smooth and rectangular ice rink that is about 150 feet long. At each end of the track there is a bullseye with four circles, one of which has the maximum value. Each team has eight stones to play each round, and alternates with the opposing team to score as many points as possible.

One step below curling is bowling, a sport that is considered easy because it does not require great agility or strength. This, coupled with the fact that bowlers don’t have to have endurance to complete a game, make it less challenging.

Bowling can be enjoyed by just about anyone, although there are professional leagues and world championships where a greater degree of precision and strategy is required to win.
