Lake Norman Participation Sports Resource Guide
Participating in sports is a way of life for most who live in the communities surrounding Lake Norman, both on and off the lake. The options are extensive; ranging from the more predictable like golf, sailing and tennis to competitive rugby, lacrosse, ice hockey, scuba diving and skateboarding.
Below is a comprehensive list of athletic organizations, teams, training, lessons, facilities and resources for the sports I have found in my research. PLEASE add any and all to the list by leaving me a comment or emailing me at: diane@dianeaurit.com. I would like this to be the most comprehensive resource available for any and all sports available in the greater Lake Norman area!
