Nothing can be compared with the joy when making new friends, especially for teenagers. Though ways are various, the best one is no doubt participating in a sport team. 

The work-like structure in charitable activities prevents the likelihood of a friendship. Even in a voluntary job, in which the work do not pay, participants’ roles vary by positions, and there may be conflict of interest. Some of them are in the leadership role while others are the subordinates. It is hardly unlikely that people make new friends across the divisions, because the hierarchical structure forces them to isolate with each other. Moreover, even between the same level, hardly can the relationship be formed as the job may conflict, which is common in workplace.

Instead, a sport team in school usually consists of amateur players. All the team members are much more likely to play for fun and recreation due to the same hobby.
