I hate going to the gym and lifting weights, it's not my thing. I'm very muscular, but I've never ever done weights. I'm a competitive swimmer, so I've never needed to do weights to get a big back, pecs, triceps, biceps, and butt. I ride my bicycle regularly to get around, and love jumping obstacles on it. I rollerblade, and wear Heelys instead of regular shoes. I love baseball and football. I even have a washboard stomach, and never do sit ups; probably because of the swimming and me always being active. It seems the only muscle that's really skinny and small are my calves. I refuse to go to a gym, and do boring repetitions just to work that part of my body.
There must be a sport that makes big calves, so I don't have to do something as boring as to do repetitions on a gym.
What sport makes big calves??

anything that involves the legs.
football (not as much)
soccer (a little)
rockclimbing (makes calves bigger as well as arms)
fencing (makes quads and calves bigger)

Bowling is an all around sport when it comes to muscular growth. It helps you tone your muscles and teach your muscles what you want them do, especially in your legs. This sport is 70% legs so it will make your calves grow pretty fast as well as tone the rest of your body.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Hill climbs with heavy packs. Look at a hiker some time.
Also, ice skating, especially hockey drills.
Basically, the calf gets worked when your foot flexes up and down-- the more work is done around ankle flexion, the more work your calf does.
To make big muscles requires "overloading". Runners have toned calfs, but not big calfs, because they don't "overload".
Soccer players also have massive calfs.

running. even if you aren't a great runner, going out and doing a couple miles a day really adds up. make sure to eat food with a lot of iron and protein the 4 hours or so before a workout
