BASKETBALL

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world and one of the most widely viewed. It is a team sport that involves two teams of five active players each trying to score points against one another by throwing a ball through a 300 cm (10 feet) high hoop (the ‘basket’) under organised rules. It is played on both indoor and outdoor courts.

The size of the court, height of the basket, size of the basketball, and length of time that the game is played, can all vary according to the age, size and skill level of players.

Basketball is a fast moving game that involves a lot of variety, including shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, defence and much more.

Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of the word “Tae” “Kwon” “Do.” It is composed of three parts as shown in the English spelling, though it is one word in Korean. “Tae” means “foot,” “leg,” or “to step on”; “Kwon” means “fist,” or “fight”; and “Do” means the “way” or “discipline.” If we put these three parts together, we can see two important concepts behind “Tae Kwon Do”.

First, Taekwondo is the right way of using Tae and Kwon ‘fists and feet,’ or all the parts of the body that are represented by fists and feet. Second, it is a way to control or calm down fights and keep the peace. This concept comes from the meaning of Tae Kwon ‘to put fists under control’ [or ‘to step on fists’]. Thus Taekwondo means “the right way of using all parts of the body to stop fights and help to build a better and more peaceful world.”

    Fishing

    No matter how much or how little fishing experience you have, there will be a fishing tournament that suits your abilities and interests. There are kids fishing tournament events, bass fishing tournaments, catfish tournaments, and saltwater tournaments. You can find the best tournament to start with by considering your experience level and the type of fishing you most like to do. The most important tip to remember when fishing in any type of tournament is that safety should always be the top priority. Create a checklist of tournament fishing safety gear that you'll need to bring along (examples: PFDs, first-aid kit). Since the days leading up to a tournament can be filled with excitement and preparation, a safety checklist will be helpful. Kids fishing tournaments are set up to help provide children with a safe and fun introductory fishing experience. In most cases, kids fish from a bank or shoreline for easy-to-catch species such as bluegill, catfish, or rainbow trout. These types of events are occasionally referred to as kids fishing derbies.

    Swimming

    Swimming is the movement of the body through water using arms and legs. Most of the time equipment is not used. People swim for exercise, fun, and they can swim competitively. People swim using their arms and/or legs. There are several "strokes": breaststroke, front crawl, butterfly, and backstroke are some of them. The main stroke usually is front crawl, but many people prefer breaststroke because it is relaxing. Swimming can be done for competitive sport. Many schools use swimming as a physical training exercise. Some swimming is just for fun, like doing backflips under the water. People can swim in the sea, swimming pools, rivers and lakes. Swimming has been around for a long time. Humans learned how to swim from the sea creatures. When they started swimming, they could swim as well and fast as today. Swimming works all the muscles simultaneously. It is impact free.
