SPORTS WITH BALL OR BALL

A ball game is a game in which its essential


element is a ball . Someone who plays a ball game is known as a player. There are many popular
games and sports that involve some type of ball or similar object. These games can be grouped by the
general goal of the game, sometimes indicating a common origin, either from a game itself or from its
basic idea:

 In which an element is used to hit the ball, such as baseball, cricket and golf.
 Games that require points or goals, such as basketball and all forms of soccer, hockey or
lacrosse.
 Games with a net, such as volleyball and tennis.
 Games with scoring objectives, such as bowling and lotball.
 The original "ball game" whose objective is to keep the ball in constant motion, but not allowing
it to bounce twice to the ground without being hit between abandons.

COMBAT SPORTS

A combat sport is a competitive contact sport where two combatants fight against each other
using certain rules of contact, with the aim of simulating some segments of what would be a
real hand-to-hand combat. Boxing , taekwondo , mixed martial arts , and modern Western
fencing are examples of combat sports.

The techniques used can be classified into three domains: the strike, the grip , and the use of a
weapon . Some encounter rules specialize in one area, while others allow overlap.
EXTREME SPORTS

Risk sports are all sports or leisure or professional activities with some sporting component that involve
real or apparent danger due to the difficult or extreme conditions in which they are practiced.

Under this concept, many existing sports are grouped that involve a certain dose of physical and, above
all, mental demand. The most demanding sports within hiking are included ( ice climbing , rock
climbing , etc.), and others of recent creation such as ( bungee , snowboarding , etc.). A sport, not
considered extreme, can be defined this way if it is practiced under special conditions or particular
circumstances not common in it. For example, rock climbing a few centimeters above the ground (
bouldering ) is not considered an "extreme sport", but if it is done on a vertical rock face several
hundred meters high, then the term does apply.

A person can be considered to practice an "extreme sport" when they do it for the first time. For
example, rafting down a class IV river is quite extreme for those who have never been on a raft before
and will feel like it is well beyond their personal capabilities.

Virtually any physical activity that meets some of these characteristics will be considered an
extreme sport:

 Consider your practis as a fisical risk.


 There is a lot of adrenaline involved.
 They are generally individual execution.
 They involve a lot of speed, height and physical effort.
 They can cause serious injuries or even death to those who do it. Among the main sports we can
find:
 Apnea
 Carving
 Longboard
 Motocross
 Supercross
 Freestyle
 Airsoft
