Cricket
"Cricket, Glorious Cricket!" is a favorite expression among the people of Trinidad. If a match is being played at Queen's Park Oval, one of the finest grounds in the region, you can take in all the action. Members of the Queen's Park Cricket Club usually watch from the Pavilion, which they consider the best seat in the house. You haven't experienced cricket until you've experienced it in Trinidad.

Football
Captained by star striker Dwight Yorke, Trinidad and Tobago's national team, the Soca Warriors, qualified for the 2006 World Cup Finals. Trinidad became the smallest English speaking nation to ever qualify for the tournament. Competitions in the local leagues are vibrant with a Secondary Schools League, Exhibition Matches and a Women's League.

Rugby
Competition in both the men's and ladies' leagues is keen, and the area's top rugby teams play locally and abroad. But after the final scores are announced it is not uncommon to see players and supporters of both teams head to their favorite liming spot to congratulate each other on a game well played.

Volleyball
Beach volleyball is a favorite pastime, and there is also a huge interest in the sport at schools, both primary and secondary. Trinidad hosted the Caribbean Volleyball Championships in 1993, and major competitions and events include the Secondary School Championships, Grand Champions Cup, Beach Volleyball Championship, an Invitational Tournament at Easter and the National League.
