About Basketball

There are 7 players in basketball.

In playing basketball we can stretch our body, to become taller.

In basketball first we have to dribble the ball and then throw it into the basket.

We have to take the ball from the other team.

Basketball is a very interesting game.

About Football

There are eleven players in football.

In football we have to kick the ball with the help of our foot.

In this game we can’t touch the ball with our hands, only the goalkeeper can touch it with his hands. If any of the player touch the ball with her hand, it would be a foul.
