Introduction
The traditional sporting calendar in the Northern Hemisphere is generally considered to run from late summer/early autumn through to late spring/early summer. This covers what are typically referred to as the four main seasons: summer, autumn, winter and spring. However, there can be some regional variation in when these seasons start and finish, particularly at the edges of the Northern Hemisphere. For example, in parts of Europe the start of autumn may be marked by the September equinox (day and night being of roughly equal duration), while in North America it is more commonly associated with the turning of the leaves and the start of the school year in late September/early October.
In terms of specific sports, there is also a lot of variation. Some, like baseball and softball, are played throughout much of the year at both amateur and professional level; others have shorter seasons which generally correspond to one of the main seasons. The main sports seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are typically as follows:
Summer: Baseball (USA), Softball (USA), Cricket (International)
Autumn: Football (USA), Soccer (Europe), Rugby Union (Europe), Rugby League (Europe)
Winter: Basketball (USA), Ice Hockey (USA & Canada), Skiing & Snowboarding (International)
Spring: Football (Europe), Soccer (USA & Mexico), Rugby Union (Southern Hemisphere)
