Switch Sports has six available base sports that players can jump into after launch until the addition of other sports later on via DLC updates. The first of these "Sport DLCs" would be Golf, although other sports may soon follow later on.
Though you are often prompted to update the game upon start up, there is a chance that you could miss a software or DLC update/download. In this case, you can manually check for updates and DLC by selecting the game on your Home Screen and pressing the + Button.
Select Software Update from the left tab. To update your game to the latest version, make sure to update it via the internet. Your system will connect to the internet and check if your game is up to date with the latest version. If not, the download will begin shortly.

Anyone having laggy issues with volleyball after summer update please? I’ve tried to reboot few times and reconnected to the internet and it’s still the same. Other sports are good except volleyball.
