Basketball

Basketball is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in the world. It is a team sport which consists of two teams with five players each. The objective of the game is for each team to score points by throwing or "shooting" a ball through a basketball hoop while following a set of rules.

The team with more points at the end of the game wins. Additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a tie. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or passing it to a teammate. A violation will occur when a player (travels) walks with the ball, carries it, or double dribbles (to hold the ball and then resume dribbling).

Basketball has many techniques for shooting, passing, and dribbling. There are even specialized player positions, offensive and defensive structures (player positioning), and techniques.

American football

American football is known in America as football, and sometimes as gridiron outside the United States and Canada. It is a sport that consists of two teams of eleven, with the objective of to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone.

The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Points are scored when the the ball is carried over the opponent's goal line, pass thrown over that goal line is caught, the ball is kicked through the opponent's goal posts, or an opposing ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone.

This sport is also played outside America. There are national and collegiate leagues in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, Israel, Spain, Austria, and several other European, American, Asian and Pacific Island nations. The International Federation of American Football acts as an international governing body for the sport on five continents, but has little standing in the United States.
