How to Score with Free Online Sports Games

Trish Cherry
Are you hooked on sports and just can't get enough ball on T.V.? Do you feel the need to score at work when you can't get to your Playstation or Xbox? If so, you can get a quick fix with some free online sports games.

Planters (yes, the peanut) has a free online game site. You can play basketball games titled Slam Dunk and 3 Point Hoops, football games such as Downfield Strike, 2 Minute Drill, QB Shootout, and Field Goal Challenge. There are also some dubiously titled games like Nut Vendor, CornNuts Cornfield 5000, and CornNuts Teed Off. You can log on and register to have your high scores posted to the site. It's all free.

Freeonlinegames.com offers a number of free sports online games. This site also has an incredible warehouse of free game selections in many genres besides sports. It boasts 61 Car racing games and 85 other sports including Golf, Pool, Skate Boarding, BMX, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Motorcross, and just about any other sports game you can think of. The games are all completely free, but do require Macromedia Flash and Shockwave plug-in players. You can even download them to your own website.

CBS Games, or cbssportsline.com, has a free sports game site. You have to register to play, but once you do, there is an amazing list of free game choices available for you to play. Some of the games available include Bass Fishing Pro, Skeet Shoot, Slam Dunk, Michelin 3pt, Hoops, Football Free Kick, Ten Pin Bowling, Northwestern Mutual Golf, Downfield Strike, Volleyball, 3D Billiards Multi Player, Coors Light Full Throttle Speedway, and Dart Champs.
All games show a leader board with high scores posted.

If baseball or soccer is your thing, SmallBall may be just what you want. You have to register, but once that is done you can log in and get your team, all for free. You manage and train a baseball team which competes with other SmallBall teams over the Internet. SmallBall is somewhat like Fantasy Baseball, but SmallBall teams are not created or based on real existing ball teams. Training your team is the big deal here, and you can control batting order, what each player needs to practice on and what position each player will play.

PGA League Championship Golf is the official fantasy game of the PGA Tour. It is completely free to play. All you have to do is register to start. You can make a team of 12 PGA golfers who will play weekly against other league members. You can join an already existing public league or team, or you can make a private league and invite your friends to play. There is a free scoring feature that allowes you to keep track of your golfers with live tournament scoring. This is a great free online game for golf fans to play.

Check out some of these free online sports games. It's a great way to fill in the blanks during the off season. Who knows? You might just become good enough to be called the next online Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, or Sam Hornish.
