Sports are fun and they are good exercise. Everyone should play sports. Here are some sports that you can play and their rules .

Soccer is a sport where you and your team use any body part except your hands and have to get the soccer ball in the other team’s goal

The goalie is the only person on the team who can use their hands

If you get fouled, you will get a penalty kick

Basketball is a sport where you and your team try to get the basketball in the other persons basket.

You can make a 3-pointer or a 2-pointer, which depends on where you shoot.

If you get fouled you take 2 foul shots

There are 4 quarters and whoever has the most points by the end of all of the quarters, wins.

Baseball• Baseball is a sport where there is a

team that’s batting and a team that’s in field and the batting team has to hit the ball as good as they can so they can run as far as they can to get a point

• One person bats at a time on the team

• There are 4 bases (including Home Base) and you must get past all 4 bases to get a point. You can stay on a base but you cant get tagged

• If you hit it out of the park, you get a Home Run (an automatic Point)

Tennis is a 2 or a 4 person sport where you have to hit the tennis ball in the other court over the net and try to make the other person lose the point

The ball cannot double bounce on someone’s side and you can’ t double touch the ball. You have to get the ball over the net and in the other person’s court to keep the ball going and not lose the point.

The score in Tennis is different- 15, 30, 40, game. If it is 40-40, it is a deuce (you have to win by two to win the game)

In a set, you have to get to 8 games to win.

Football is a team sport where the team has to get a touchdown(get the ball to the other persons side)

A field goal is if you decide to try to kick the ball into the other team’s field goal zone

The quarterback throws it to a teammate and the teammate has to get as close to touchdown as possible

You can also intercept it(if you are on defense and you catch the throw instead) then your team goes on offense

The only way your team can get the ball if they are on defense is if they intercept it or the offensive team gets a turnover.

SoftballSoftball is just like

baseball, except you use a softer ball

All of the rules are the same as baseball, so if you know how to play baseball, you can play softball

HOCKEY Hockey is a game where

you use a hockey stick and a puck and you have to try to get the puck in the other team’s goal using your hockey stick

Ice Hockey is the most common kind of Hockey and you use ice skates to move

You can hit people and check people

You wear a lot of protective gear (especially the goalie) for protection

Track Track is a sport where you run

on a Track You race against 5 other people

and have to try to get to the finish first and you can’t leave your line.

You are not on a team unless you are doing a relay race, which has four people on a team.

There are many different distances for running track: Sprint races- 50m, 100m, 220m, and 400m. Distance races- 1600 and 3200. A middle distance race is 800m.

Volleyball Volleyball is a sport where you are on

a team of 5 people and there is a net You have to hit it over the net in the

other persons court. If the ball touches the ground,

whoever’s team’s side it touches the ground on loses the point so you have to try to make it so that it touches the ground on the other team’s side, but in their court, or you will lose the point

In volleyball, you can double touch the ball

There are different positions that you and your team are in and you switch sometimes. (The person in the back right serves)
