About 15,000 sports and recreation clips, weighted toward the 1960s. This is amateur sport more than professional, the games people played and watched in person, filmed from the stands or the sideline.
Expect sandlot baseball, backyard football, Little League, swimming meets, school field days, and a lot of skiing and golf. California, New York, and Colorado lead, almost all on 8mm and 16mm.

Sports footage suits athletic and nostalgia campaigns, social-history documentaries, and period scenes that need real amateur play instead of staged action. The sideline crowd and the kids-at-bat shots are reliable pulls.
The 1950s lean organized and uniformed. The 1960s, the peak, widen to take in everything from Little League to backyard pickup games. The 1970s add color and casual clothes, with more skiing and tennis as the leisure boom took hold.
