Cricket, rugby, and association football are the most popular sports among men, while netball is the most popular sport among women. Basketball, volleyball, and tennis are also popular sports. The clarity and calm of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' offshore leeward waters have enticed countless yachtsmen, sailors, surfers, and scuba divers to the islands. Vincentians prefer land-based sports, particularly cricket. The Arnos Vale Sports Complex in Kingstown has grown in popularity as a one-day international cricket venue. Vincentians have represented the West Indies in international cricket tournaments and have played professionally in England over the years.
