Does anyone know of any activities (sports, social...etc.) for expat kids in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?

Ok, if you live in a compound then that shouldn't be a problem at all, as all compounds offer alot of activities, and it is a better social life for you and your children, to meet other expatriates.\nHowever, if you do not live in a compound, then the best thing to do is buy a copy of Riyadh today, you will find it at any newstand, in it there is a whole section of sports round up, it offers details & phone numbers for every sport available.

Being in 2nd grade not to long ago, I seemed to enjoy free time, tug o' war, Scavenger hunts, and sports on the playground. I hope i've been of some help. Email me back please.

You could also try getting involved in some community recreation activities, or volunteer some of your time to worthy community causes and organizations.  You are bound to meet some high class people that way!

This year I will have two International Exchange students in my home, one from Germany and the other from Norway.  I believe things like this help us all learn about each other and our cultures.  I have been looking online for places to volunteer (after the 2 are here) overseas and was very pleased to find many places (I thought you could only go Peace Corps if you know what I mean) that you can volunteer overseas for the price of paying your own transportation to and from and having your own spending money.  People will let you stay in their homes while you are volunteering from Nepal to Brazil to India.  All kinds of places.  Some are even "vacation" volunteering, do while on your vacation.  Gosh, just thinking about it sounds like so much fun and I can't wait to pick a place!!! :)  \n\nTwo great sites I have bookmarked for future reference.  I do have to say that as someone who can't afford to go flying places I did think this was an excellent way to learn about another country/people and be on vacation.  A win-win situation.

At my neighbor's house.  He's Portugese (Cape Verdean, actually) and he's into all that "soccer" stuff.  I don't get it, what's the big deal?  But it will be an excuse to hang out and carrouse.\n\n--J.

Contact your local parks and recreation department.  I remember when I was a kid they always had sports teams available to the public for kids.

Horse Riding, Hunting, Racing, Wrestling, Archery, Swordfighting, and stuff.\n\nAbout swimming, learning to swim is a good thing, but I cant think of any place in Makkah where they could have.

Please advise what types of things you would find to be fun?   Theatre?  Sports?  Music?  Food?\n\n[edit]\n\nKirkwood Soccer Club is probably your only bet (and since I don't have your age, that might not help).  We do have the Wilmington Blue Rocks baseball team (Minor A - Boston RedSox Org.)\n\nBrandywine Zoo and the Brandywine River Museum.  \nBrandywine River Park (tubing).\nBlue Diamond Amusement Park (small but fun) - they have ATVs I think too\n\nDepending upon when you are coming, Greek Festival, Italian Festival, Jazz Festival.\n\nFor the rest, check out the local "young persons'" newspaper section (from the News Journal), it's called Spark Magazine.\n\nIF YOU WANT TO LET ME KNOW YOUR AGE (RANGE IS FINE) AND YOUR DATES FOR BEING HERE i CAN DIRECT YOUR FURTHER...HAPPY TO DO SO.  BYE

Look for a website first then ask around. You can email any universities or high school soccer programs. They may know of a few players that play somwhere.\n Most of the active soccer programs play \noff-season indoor. \n I assume you are looking for a league and an arena? \n In my area the church groups host most of our indoor so that may be another resourse. Good luck!\n Also check out AYSO (American Youth Soccor Organization) in your area. They gather and sponser alot of events.
