Football

Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with a foot to score a goal

Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team’s court under organized rules. There are two referees on each side of the net. Each team member rotates to different positions on the court. One person is allowed to serve the ball until the opponent team lands the ball on the home team’s side of the court, so the opponent may have the chance to serve the ball.

Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players each who take turns batting and fielding. The batting team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball (that is thrown by the opposing team’s pitcher) with a bat swung by the batter, and then running counter-clockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third, and home plate. A run is scored when a player advances around the bases and touches home plate.

Wrestling

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and take downs, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. The sport can either be theatrical for entertainment, or genuinely competitive. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors.

Basketball

Basketball is a limited-contact sport played on a rectangular court. While most often played as a team sport with five players on each side, three-on-three, two-on-two, and one-on-one competitions are also common.

Badminton

Badminton is a sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are “singles and “doubles” (with two players per side). Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach.
