Sports are physical games that involve feats of physical acrobatics, agility, strength, etc. which aim to pit competitors against each other in the aim of competition. The competition may range from the seemingly playful (Goodminton) to the potentially dangerous (Boxing) and may take place at any level of physical activity. In modern times, sports have grown in popularity as they enable people of all ages and physical condition to enjoy the game, participate in it and get a fair share of the winning prize.
One of the most popular sports is Badminton which is played by two players.

The game of badminton was first played in 1875 and is played in a badminton court.
Basketball is another popular sport and is played with two separate balls which have been alternated regularly. The object of the game is for one team to shoot hoops or shoot three-point shots to win the ball back to their opponent and for the other team to rebound the ball and do the same to take the lead back to their side. This is a fun activity involving both skill and physical exertion. The sport can be played individually, as a group or in a tournament format. International basketball is played between countries that regularly compete in an event-like format.
