Football
It needs more people and more space than any other sport here
The real barrier is organisation rather than skill: a full eleven-a-side needs twenty-odd people and a full pitch, so the practical urban answer is five- or seven-a-side on a rented cage pitch, split between everyone. The running load is the highest of the ball sports. The only equipment that matters is the right boots.
First stepPass a ball against a wall until each foot manages twenty clean returns, then look for a pickup game nearby.
