Sports

There are a whole bunch of sports out there in the world. Some examples are soccer, football, basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Well I'm going to talk about one of my favorites and how it got started.  I'm going to start out with Soccer.

Every Colture has a little bit of information to add on to how soccer was made. The first scientific evidence of soccer were found in china from a military excersise in the second and third centuries BC. The Han Dynasty version of football (soccer) was called Tsu' Chu.  The object of the game was to kick a leather ball filled with feathers and hair

through an opening that was only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes. The player had to use his feet, chest, back, and shoulders while trying to withstand the attacks of his opponents to make the ball go through the opening. He could not use hands because it wasn't permitted.

  The Japanese also had their own form of this game, except it didn't involve the competition. It was called Kemari

. Players have to stand in a circle with little space and pass the ball to eachother not letting it hit the ground. The Romans were the ones who made it like it is today. There was to teams played in a rectangle with a line in the middle and they had to get the ball across the other teams boundaries. The Romans took that to England. In England rugby was made. Rugby is like soccer and football mixed in together. After the Rugby association seperated itslef from the Football associaion, thats when soccer was officially made.
