21. Two teams use wood sticks to run a rubber (a ball or a puck), to score a goal. As the game is very quick and intensive, the players change often. The game is rather dangerous. The players wear uniforms that weigh several kilograms and save them (the players) from painful falls on the ice, hits with the wood sticks and skates, etc. Still many people find it exciting and prefer it to other sports and games.
22. It makes you quick and active. You will jump well and have a good eye. It also cures you of the fear of falling down. Two teams hit the ball over the net mostly with their hands and try to return the ball before it touches the ground.
23. This game comes from England. The matches are continuous long, so the athletes must be strong to play for a long time and not get tired. They hit the ball with the racket over the net and try to reach and return it. The balls get holes very quickly and often fly away. That is why there must be several of them before the game.
24. Its name translates as the gentle way. This sport came from the Far East. You learn to react and move quickly. You hold and throw your opponent. The sport’s philosophy teaches you to respect yourself and others. As there is not much equipment, it is not expensive.
25. This sport is very hard and dangerous. Most people cannot understand the joy of it. But those who practice it say they enjoy it because they have to overcome difficulties together with their friends, because they can feel their power and also because they can enjoy most beautiful breathtaking panoramas.

Hockey.
Football
Volleyball.
