Football is a team sport. Each team has eleven players. You play

football on a field with goalposts at each end. To play it you have

to kick a ball and get it through the opponent’s goalposts.

Athletics is an individual sport. Athletics includes running,

jumping and throwing. The athlete who runs the fastest, jumps

the highest and throws the furthest wins. You don’t need any

special equipment.

Volleyball is a team sport. Each team has six players. You play

volleyball on a court separated by a high net. The players have to

hit a ball from side to side and the ball must not touch the

ground.

the ocean or in a lake. Swimmers wear a swimsuit, a swim cap and

goggles. The fastest swimmer wins.
