Sports help us to keep our body in a good physical condition. Everybody
who wants to do sports or play games needs a bit talentand
interest.When you want to practise sport just for fun or to be fit, you
can do it anytime and every time, but when you want to be a professional
and earn money by doing sport, you need talent, specialeducation and
training, but first of all hard work every day.All sports can be
divided into individual or collective. Collective sports
and gamesneed team work.Teamis a group of people who play together
against anothergroup. They cooperate, help each other, follow one common
concept for the gameand observe the instructions of the coach. They
have their own language ofcommunication and they use special prepared
signals.My favourite team sport is ice hockey. Ice hockey
originally came from Canada, where garbage men played game with a broom
and cans or other garbage. Ice hockey is playes by two teams
of six players on an ice rink, with a goal net on each end. The main
objective of this very fast and dangerous game is to hit a rubber puck
into the opposing team´s net with an ice hockey stick. The game begins
when the referee drops the puck between the sticks of two players from
the opposing teams. This is called a face-off.An ice hockey rink is
divided into three areas: defending, neutral and attacking. There are
many other marks in the ice rink so the game has quite complicated
rules. Players can move from one zone to another, but cannot pass the
puck across more than two zones. A goal is scored when the puck crosses a
goal line.Each game consists of three periods of 20 minutes,
divided by breaks or intermissions of 15 minutes. Both teams can use 20
players for every game, but only 6 can play on the ice rink. The game is
watched by three referees, and there is also a goal judge behind each
goalkeeper, who judges whether the puck has crossed the goal line or
not, by turning on a red or green light. We can divide sports
into three categories –summer, winter, and all-season sports. Among
the summer sports are athletics, water sports, for example
swimming,windsurfing, sailing, rafting, water skiing; ball games:
football, volleyball, handball,softball, tennis,golf, American
football;and other sports:cycling,horse racing, motor-cycle racing, car
racing,skateboarding,parachuting,roller skating.Among the winter
sports arebobsledding,snowboarding,skiing, ski jumping,
speed-skating and ice-hockey.Among the all-season sports are, for
example, basketball, gymnastics, table tennis,wrestling, boxing,
weightlifting, body-building.Every sport has pros and cons.In my
opinion the most dangerous sports are: motor-cycle racing, car
racing, mountain climbing and climbing without ropes, boxing, ski
jumping and bungeejumping.Everybody has the right to choose any sporting
activities he or she likes. It depends on the people only.
