WORDS TO STUDY

Sport in general
The playing area for football, rugby, jockey and cricket is called a pitch. For tennis, volleyball, basketball, squash and badminton it is a court, for golf it is a course. People who watch match are called spectators or crowd. Some games are played by individual, others are team games. In a team one player is the captain, and there is a manager or a coach. Football, rugby, and hockey have a referee but tennis, cricket and baseball have an umpire. In football the referee has a whistle to control the game and two linesmen. In tennis there are line judges to decide if the ball is in or out.

In football, rugby, hockey and basketball, if the ball goes off the pitch or court, it is out of play. In racquet sports and volleyball, if the ball lands outside the line, we say the ball is out.
