There are few preppy sports, but they must be mastered to the degree of showing off. The sports are
-Tennis
-Lacrosse
-Field Hockey
-Horseback Riding
-Ballet/ Dance
Tennis: Key designers to wear while playing tennis - Ralph Lauren Tennis and Lacoste. They are very Tennis-esque and will make you look gorgeous on the courts. Nike isn't really the preppiest brand but yet they have ah-dorable tennis clothes so go ahead.
Lacrosse:Very very fun. For "hardcore" preps. Grab some soffee shorts, your cutest tank, your deBeer stick and your BFF and play catch for hours. Better yet, join a team and show off in front of everyone! Great excersize...
Field Hockey: Lacrosse for the fall season! What could be better? If you play for a team, which you most likely will (field hockey isn't really a sport you can grab a friend and play catch with spontaneously), you will be issued a kilt which by law must be stiff and itchy and in a really unflattering colour.
Horseback Riding: This and Tennis would be considered the most preppy sports. A very New England tradition, with competitions taking place year round. Be sure to buy a helmet, an Hermes crop (if you can afford it), an ah-dorable jacket(you can find one, trust me) and some super sexy jodhpurs (hint- black is the most flattering but who wants to be wearing black all the time? if you can pull off cream coloured, wear it). Check out RL for inspiration.
Ballet/Dance: Who said dance wasn't a sport?? Of course it is. Anyway, moving on, dance is a great way to stay in shape and learn moves that can help you way later in life. If you're more of a "classical" prep, why not try ballet? Get a leotard, some point shoes and some tights and you're ready to learn. If ballet's not for you, you could try tap, modern, or jazz (my favourite!) Leggings, your jazz/ tap shoes, and a tank top and you're off. Add legwarmers for a retro look.

Dance is a great sport. A number of football players do it so they can get in shape. Look at Dancing with the Stars and all the wieght the contestants have lost doing that show.
