Would you like to play a sport but don't know which one you'd like best? Here's a list of different sports and a description of how they're played.

Gymnastics Teams compete to see who's best at doing somersaults and back flips, walking on a "balance beam" without falling off, jumping over things, and doing all kinds of swings, twists and flips on something that looks like a big gym set.
	Soccer Played on a big field. Two teams of 11 players each try to kick or use any other part of the body — EXCEPT their hands and arms — to knock the ball into the other team's goal.
Dancing It isn't really a sport, but dancing is a fun and terrific way to exercise. You can learn all types of dancing, from ballet and tap dancing to hip hop and jazz. (Or, you can just pop in a favorite CD and dance any way you like!)
	Basketball Played on a court between two teams of five players each. Each team scores points by using their hands to throw the ball through the other team's basket that's 10 feet above the court.

Tennis Played on a court between two players. Each player uses a racquet to hit the ball over a net to the other player's side of the court. If a player hits the ball out of bounds or into the net, the other player wins a point.
	Football Played on a field by two teams of 11 players each. Each team tries to score points by moving the ball into the other team's "end zone" or by kicking the ball through the other team's "goalpost."
Volleyball Played on an indoor or outdoor court between two teams with six players each. The teams use their hands to hit the ball back and forth over a high net — not letting the ball touch the ground. If the ball touches the ground on one team's side, the other team wins a point.
	Baseball and Softball Played on a field with a bat and a ball by two teams, each with nine players. Each team takes turns trying to hit the ball with a bat, and who ever moves all the way around the "bases" scores a "run."
Swimming Two or more teams compete against each other in a large swimming pool to see who's the fastest swimmer. There's a "butterfly" race (swimming on your stomach and kicking with your feet), a "backstroke" race (swimming on your back) and other types of races.
