There are many kinds of sports. To many to name. We will tell you a little about the sport.

Baseball is an all american sport. You have nine players for each team. The nine positions are right, left, center field, catcher, pitcher, first, second, and third basemen, and short stop. You have an offense and a defense. The defense play out in the field. When the pitcher pitches the ball, the batter (the offense) at home plate. The batter trys to hit the ball. If he/she hits the ball they run to first base. If they think that they can go to second, they can go. In the big leagues they can steal bases. They can only steal when the pitcher is pitching the ball. If the defense catches the ball while it is in the air or they tag the base if the runner is running or if they tag the runner while he or she is off the base, they are out. There are three outs to an inning and nine innings in a game. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Basketball is an active sport. You have to run a lot in basketball. You have five players on a team. The offense tries to get the ball in the basket. The defense tries to stop that from happening. You have four quarters and two halves. The game goes on for six minutes in the little league, eight minutes in the Jr. high league, and fifteen minutes in both college and the NBA. Some of the defenses are 1-3-1, 2-3, 3-2, 4-1 and many more. With offense you must move the ball a lot. The three main passes are the chest, the bounce, and the over head. NEVER put the ball behind you head. You also have three kinds of fouls. A foul is when you do something that could hurt someone. The three kinds of fouls are shooting, personal foul and technical foul. You get to shot the ball if they foul you while your shooting. You get to shoot twice if you don't make it and one if you do. Each basket that you make if you get fouled counts as one point. Then you have your three's. A three counts as three points. The three point line is the big circle on the outside. You can stop the clock by going out of bounds. You will get the ball taken away from you if you throw the ball in the courts boundaries and if you touch it without anybody else touching it, it is called a travel. You can also travel by picking up the ball and running with it without dribbling. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Football is a rough sport. You wear pads, a helmet, and a mouth piece (so you don't bite your tonge off)! You have eleven players on a team. The quarter back handles the ball. You can pass the ball or you can run the ball. The defense tries to stop the offense from scoring. The offense will have four downs. They have to make ten yards each four downs. If they don't, the ball goes to the defense. You can switch the offense with the defense if the defense gets the ball or the other team makes a touchdown. The offense can't use their hands. If they do they get five yards back. If the offense makes a move before the center hikes it, it is five yards back. The defense can move but not pass the offense. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Volleyball is kind of like tennis. You try to hit the ball over the net. You can hit the ball twice, but not in a row. Your team has to get the ball over the net in three hits. You have two games. If your team wins both games, then you don't have to play the third.If your team wins one and the other team wins one then you have to go in to the third game. Each game goes until one team has 15 points, but they have to win by two points.
