Basketball

Basketball is a highly technical and extremely exciting sport for both participants and spectators. Basketball is a team sport which involves 10 players, 5 players in each side.

Length of the game is four 10-minute quarters. There is a 2 minute break between the 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th quarters, with a 15 minutes break at half time. Any overtime periods are 5 minutes.

Each team tries to score by shooting a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules.  The game is played on a rectangular floor which is called a court. The court has divided in to two sections and there is one hoop in each section which each team needs to shoot in to opponent hoop to get a score.

There are two types of scoring rule in basketball which are two points and three points, if the player is shooting the ball through the hoop from close distance is two points score and if the player is shooting from three points line the score will count on three points.  Each team with the highest point is the winner of the game. Basketball is one of the world’s most popular viewed sports.

Basketball in my opinion is one of the best things I can do with my friends to have fun while burning a few calories. I see basketball as a fun and easy way to have fun. One reason I love basketball is because you need only yourself to play the game or, you can play with teammates. One thing I love about basketball is that people have many different styles of play. There are styles such as a passer, playmaker, shooter, defensive player, and dunker or highflyer. Playing Basketball is very entertaining since there are endless ideas you can think of just with a hoop and a basketball.

Basketball is a great way to get your mind off things and is also a great way to express yourself. It is a sport that can work your whole body. It’s a great pastime for any one and is a great way to bond with family members and friends.

Now lets watch the greatest moments in basketball:

Swimming


I always had a deep connection with the water. There’s just something about the water- holding your breath and diving deep down under it and just letting it surround you and support you- that makes me feel so peaceful.  No matter what’s going on in my life, whatever stresses I'm feeling, whatever's on my mind, goes away for just a split second when I'm holding my breath under water.  Everything is silent and it’s just you and the water.Swimming is one of my favorite activities. Whenever I am in a swimming pool, I always swim the freestyle and breaststroke.  I swim at my own pace as a way to relax.  Swimming is also one of my favorite events to watch at the Olympics. 

Types of Swimming Strokes

There are numbers of different swimming styles that each swimmer based on own position to water will indicate the appropriate style.  We have called these styles as strokes.

There are four different types of strokes that most swimmers use, which are:

1. Breaststroke

2. Butterfly

3. Front Crawl

4. Backstroke

1.Breaststroke

In Breaststroke the swimmer is on his or her chest while the upper body does not rotate. Breaststroke is the most popular fun style since the swimmer has ability to keep the head out of the water for large amount of time. In the swimming competitions the breaststroke is the slowest certified stroke.

2.Butterfly

In Butterfly the swimmer is on the breast with both arms moving all together. The butterfly stroke is more difficult which needs good techniques to be useful. It is also requires more energy and strength compare to other strokes.

3. Front Crawl

Front Crawl which also called Australian Crawl or American Crawl is the fastest strokes compare to other 3 strokes however it is difficult to find a good breathing point. In the front crawl body is to the water surface with hips and legs behind the shoulders at all times. The leg is moving up and down at all times. Arms following each other through and over the top of water.

4. Backstroke

The Backstroke is like an upside down version of front crawl. There are an advantage and disadvantage with this style. The advantage of this style is swimmers can easily breathe during swimming and in other hand the disadvantage of this style is that swimmers are not able to see where they are going.

RUGBY

Rugby- watch or play

It the rugby world cup, there’s nothing like a world competition to get a country to unite and get behind their team. Flags of all nations hang, or are printed on t-shirts, houses, cars, faces, coasters, mugs, computer screens and in some extreme cases, tattooed onto people and shaved into their hair. Anything and everything is done to show allegiance to their country and to feel like a part of the team.

Watch a game with anyone who is passionate about rugby and you will find out how intense a game can be and also how potentially deafening. Supporters turn into coaches and yell criticism and support as they scream at their TV’s to ‘Run son’ or ‘tackle him!’

Watching, the games look violent; there is rarely a game where a player isn’t sent off the field for an injury or a player with blood dripping off their face. This would be enough to deter any sane minded person from playing. There’s more than the violence to this game though. In order to play well, you need to be able to think quickly, work as a team and have fast reflexes and a strong stamina and endurance.

Playing for girl’s rugby is a bit different than the guy’s teams. There’s a lot less media involved and some of the rules are different, for example girls don’t push in a scrum (yes you do “engage” but then you squat there looking like fools as you ruck the ball back). Just because it’s a girls game doesn’t mean it isn’t just as violent; girls are still sent off the field bleeding or with something broken or sprained. Just like when you watch there is the unity as you pull on your team colours and run onto the field at the beginning of a game. Of course it doesn’t hurt to win at the end either.

Fistball

Fistball is such a very old sport which was referenced in the text in 240 by Roman Emperor Gordian III. The aim of this sport is hitting to ball over the net to the opponent’s field. It is quite similar to tennis and volleyball. It now is a part of the World’s Game. The world championship is held every 4 years.

Bossaball

What is bossaball?

Bossaball is a sport invented in Spain which combines many other sports such as volleyball, soccer, gymnastics and capoeira. The two most famous selection teams come from Spain and Brazil.

A combination of trampolines and inflatables is used to create a bossaball court. The court is divided into half by a net standing in the middle. It takes about 45 minutes to set up the court and be ready to play.

How to play?

The number of players in each team is from 3 to 5. In order to score, the ball has to be land on the court of the opponent. Each team can contact the ball maximum 8 times on its own court before returning it to the opposite side. These contacts can be exercised by any part of the body. However, players can touch maximum once with their hands, twice with the feet or heads.

What is the score?

The team lands the ball on the opponent’s inflatables gets 1 point. Scoring on the trampoline gets 3 points. Hitting the rings around the trampolines does not count a score and the rally continues.

The team scored can serve the ball. If the team serves and scores the point, the player who served the previous ball has to serve the next ball. If they do not score and the position of players on the field have to be rotated clockwise. The team scores 25 points first will win the set. There are 3 sets in one match. Winning 2 sets continuously means winning the match.
