• Soccer
• Basketball

• Badminton

A football pitch (also known as a soccer field) is the playing surface for the game of association football. Grass is the normal surface of play, although artificial turf may sometimes be used especially in locations where maintenance of grass may be difficult due to inclement weather. This may include areas where it is very wet, causing the grass to deteriorate rapidly; where it is very dry, causing the grass to die; and where the turf is under heavy use. Some leagues and football associations have specifically prohibited artificial surfaces due to injury concerns and require teams' home stadia to have grass pitches.

In which sport would you start from a tee?

• Athletics
• Golf
• Tennis
• Hockey

In golf, the tee box is the area where you will start the round, and the allocated time is for that specific teeing area. Depending on the course layout and daylight hours, many golf clubs allocate tee times to two different tee boxes, accommodating more players on the day. Generally, the course is split into the front and back nines, and both will be situated close to the clubhouse. During the summer months or holiday periods, many golf courses use only one tee to start the round. That will allow the casual golfer looking to play 9-holes late in the afternoon the opportunity to play.

In which sport can players do a "swish"?

• Cricket
• Golf
• Football
• Basketball

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a swish means to “sink (a shot) without the ball touching the backboard or rim”. In other words, any player who shoots the basketball with such precision and the ball only contacts the net upon entering the rim. The term ‘swish’ is derived from the sound the ball makes passing through the net. This is an example of onomatopoeia and is common with words like hiss, boing, and tick-tock. Swish has long been associated with basketball, but it is not a term that was coined within the official rules and regulations of basketball. The term appears to have first appeared in a short story called “The Coward” by author Trebor Yarruns. In the story, the main character, Dempsey, is watching a basketball game and upon witnessing a goal describes it as, “A swish of netting resounded as the ball dropped through the goal without touching the iron rim”.
