The bar graph provides information about the most Common


sports played in New Zealand in 2002. It gives figures for
both boys and girls and clearly shows that their participation
in sports is fairly equal. However, their sporting preferences
tend to be different.

According to the graph, the most popular sport among girls


is netball, with participation rates reaching 25 per cent. A
similar percentage of boys prefer soccer, which is clearly
their favourite sport. Ten per cent of boys also enjoy playing
cricket but hardly any girls take part in this game. While
swimming is popular among both boys and girls, fewer boys
participate in this sport - about 13 per cent compared to
approximately 22 per cent of girls.

Other sports such as tennis, basketball and martial arts have


lower levels of popularity, and a significant percentage of
boys and girls say they enjoy sports not referred to on the
chart.
