There are many different kinds of sports that are undertaken by a wide variety of different
people. Some people do sport for their career and other people purely do sport for enjoyment and
recreation. Some sports, like cricket, require the use of a lot of equipment, while others need very
little in order to successfully play a game in that sport. Some people use public playing fields to
play sport for free, while other sports such as squash, tennis, badminton and table tennis are
usually paid for on an hourly basis in the comfort of a local leisure centre.
Most sports are played with a round object often known as a ball. Some sports use more
than one ball and snooker is one of the unique sports that make use of a number of balls while
being played. The game itself is often controlled by an impartial individual known as an umpire
in cricket and a referee in sports like football and rugby. Most sports have a duration of not more
than a few hours, however some athletic tournaments can last for up to a week and a game of
cricket can be five days in duration before a winner is announced.
Some people prefer to watch sport. This can either be done by going to a stadium, a local
leisure centre, park or on the television. It is often cheaper to watch sport from the comfort of a
person’s home than to visit the stadium or a special event. Some sports, such as football and
cricket, are really popular in the United Kingdom but not in the USA. In the USA people often
play basketball and baseball. However, most countries put aside time to compete in world
sporting events such as the football world cup or the Olympics, which occur every four years.
Nowadays, people who suffer from any kind of disability are also encouraged to
participate in sport and most sport equipment is adapted to suit the needs of a disabled person.
This means sport is something that can be enjoyed no matter the physical ability of the person.
The para-olympics takes place a week after the main event and it is equally popular. Participation
in sporting activity is encouraged by doctors and at schools given the beneficial impact it has on
the health of the individual that participates, and it is for this reason and the competitive nature of
individuals that sport remains a very popular activity worldwide.
