The Most popular sport at my school is
basketball and football.
Basketball
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of 5 players
try to score points against one another by placing a ball
through a 10 foot (3.048 m) high hoop (the goal) under
organized rules. A regulation NBA basketball court is
94' long by 50' wide. Basketball is one of the most popular
and widely viewed sports in the world.
Points are scored by throwing (shooting) the ball through
the basket from above. The team with more points at the
end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime)
may be issued when the scores of both teams are the
same. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing
it (dribbling) or passing it between teammates.
Disruptive physical contact (foul) is penalized, and free
throws will be issued if an offensive player is fouled while
shooting the ball. (violations).

Football
Football is the name of several similar team sports, all with
similar origins which involve, to varying degrees, kicking a
ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most
popular of these sports worldwide is association football,
more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer".
However, the word football is applied to whichever form of
football is the most popular in each particular part of the
world. Hence, the English language word "football" is
applied to "gridiron football," a name associated with
American football and Canadian football, Australian rules
football, Gaelic football, Rugby league, Rugby union and
some related games. These variations are known as
"codes".
Hockey
Hockey refers to any of a family of sports in which two
teams play against each other by trying to maneuver
a ball, or a hard, round, rubber or heavy plastic disc
called a puck, into the opponent's net or goal, using a
hockey stick.
Field hockey is played on gravel, natural grass, sandbased or water-based artificial turf, with a small, hard
ball. The game is popular among both males and
females in many parts of the world, particularly in
Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa. In most
countries, the game is played between single-sex
sides, although they can be mixed-sex.
Ice hockey is played on a large flat area of ice, using
a three inch (76.2 mm) diameter vulcanized rubber
disc called a puck. This puck is often frozen before
high-level games to decrease the amount of
bouncing and friction on the ice. The game is
contested between two teams of skaters. The game is
played all over North America, Europe and in many
other countries around the world to varying extent. It
is the most popular sport in Canada, Finland, Latvia,
the Czech Republic, and in Slovakia.
Swimming
The aquatic sport of swimming is based on the human act of swimming,
that is, locomotion in water by self propulsion, usually with the goal
to complete a given distance in the smallest amount of time. There are
also swimming competitions based on endurance or precedence
rather than speed, such as crossing the English Channel or some
other stretch of open water. As a sport, swimming is usually
distinguished from other aquatic sports (such as diving, synchronized
swimming and water polo) that involve the act of swimming but where
the goal is neither speed nor endurance.
Competetive swimming consist of four different strokes. The different
strokes you can swim in a race are the butterfly, breaststroke,
freestyle, and backstroke. When all four strokes are done during a
race, it is called the I.M.(Individual Medley).
Swimming has been part of the modern Olympic Games since their
inception in 1896, and is governed by the Fédération Internationale de
Natation (FINA). The belief is widely held that swimming is the best
aerobic exercise in the world.
Volleyball
Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of 6
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.[1] This article focuses on competitive indoor volleyball;
numerous other variations of volleyball have developed, most
notably the Olympic spin-off sport beach volleyball.
The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as
follows: A player on one of the teams begins a rally by serving
the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or
arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the
net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must
not let the ball be grounded within their court. They may touch
the ball as many as three times. Typically, the first two touches
are to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back
over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to
prevent it from being grounded in their court.

Tennis
Tennis is a sport usually played between two players
(singles) or between two teams of two players each
(doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to
strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt past a
net into the opponent's court.
The modern game of tennis originated in the United
Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis"
which has heavy connections to various field/lawn
games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis.
After its creation, tennis spread throughout the
upper-class English-speaking population before
spreading around the world[1]. Tennis is an Olympic
sport and is played at all levels of society at all
ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can
hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.
Figure Skating
Figure skating is an Olympic sport in which individuals,
pairs, or groups perform spins, jumps, footwork and
other intricate and challenging moves on ice. Figure
skaters compete at various levels from beginner up to
the Olympic level (senior), and at local, national, and
international competitions. The International Skating
Union (ISU) regulates international figure skating
judging and competitions. Figure skating is an official
event in the Winter Olympic Games. In languages
other than English, figure skating is usually referred
to by a name that translates as "artistic skating".

Artistic Gymnastics
Artistic gymnastics is a discipline of gymnastics which is a
popular spectator sport at the Summer Olympic Games, and in
numerous other competitive environments. The related
discipline of generaldog gymnastics is geared more towards
participation for fun and fitness, rather than competition, and
attracts a respectable number of participants including retired
gymnasts.
Competitive gymnasts perform short routines (ranging from
approximately 30 to 90 seconds) on different apparatus, with
less time for vaulting (see lists below). They are governed by the
Federation Internationale de Gymnastique, or FIG. The FIG
designs the Code of Points and regulates all aspects of
international elite competition. Within individual countries,
gymnastics is regulated by national federations, such as BAGA
in Great Britain and USA Gymnastics in the United States.
Biathlon
Biathlon is a term used to describe any sporting event
made up of two disciplines. However, biathlon usually
refers specifically to the winter sport that combines
cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Other
popular variants include summer biathlon, which
combines cross-country running with riflery, modern
biathlon and biathle, which combine running with
swimming.
