**Basketball** is the best sport, because it is a team sport that isn’t too violent, but still uses a lot of team work; and you can use your hands. These are all true statements because there are contact rules in basketball where you cant push someone or hit them in any way; and its common knowledge that basketball is a hands only sport. Basketball is a good way to exercise, and is the easiest sport to play by yourself if you don’t have anyone to play with; so it’s the easiest to play at any time, because all you need is a ball and yourself. And anyway, why not play basketball, when friends hang out, they can get together and really connect when they talk about the outcome of a basketball game. The reason you should believe anything I say, is because I’ve played, and currently participate in many sports, so I know a good sport when I see one.

Football is the best sport because it is the ultimate team sport, and it is full of emotion, passion, and excitement. If one player doesn't do their job, the whole team suffers from it. The emotion and passion from the players and fans is evident from the cheering and support shown. Millions and millions of Americans attend high school football games every friday night throughout the country. The excitement comes from making the big hit, the key block, the long touchdown runs and the amazing throws and catches. This town thrives on Middletown football. Every friday night, middletown shuts down and goes out to Bill Billings stadium and roots for us Cavaliers. It is incredible. There is support for the other sports in our school, but nothing can compare to the football team. The raw emotion and feeling that only people like myself get to experience can't be described. The chills I get before the game, the tears, the rage, it is all truly something special. There is never a dull moment during the game. There is so much action and energy that most of the other sports do not hold. This school, this town, and this community lives and dies with the football team. That is why we say we play with a Blue Heart. Football is more than just a sport, it's a vital part of life to me, and that's why it is the best sport.

Volleyball is the best sport because it is a fast paced game that focuses on teamwork over the individuals, forcing people to work as a team. If one person makes a mistake, the whole team falls. You have to come together and be organized in order to accomplish the same goal on everyone's minds, to win. Not only is volleyball physical, but it is mental sport also. There are also different types of volleyball, indoor or outdoor. Beach volleyball you play in pairs and indoor volleyball you play with a team of 6. Volleyball is also the best sport because it is easy to pick up and you can be good at hitting, but bad at passing, and still be on the team. You don't have to be skilled in all the aspects of volleyball because everyone has their own position. So even though you aren't good at one skill, you can try other skills; you aren't limited. If you've every seen the summer Olympics, then you must have seen Misty May and Kary Walsh tear it up in beach volleyball. Its an intense game and you put all of your emotions into the game. When you make that one good play or save, its the best feeling because you just get that adrenaline rush and are ready to take on anything. I am able to say volleyball is the best sport because I play it myself. By playing volleyball I learned to play as a team and made many friends.

__**Soccer is the best sport**__. It is played world wide, and all the different countries and players come together to compete in the World Cup. Unlike Football which is just in America which competes in the Super Bowl. Soccer is very easy to learn and great for all ages. Playing soccer is an easy way to make friends and learn how to work with others. It's team sport and everyone has to come together. Even watching soccer is exciting for it has many supporters around the world. Soccer also has many different positions therefore it is more likely for you to find a position you like. As you play soccer you are filled with passion and get very involved in the game. Also you get a lot of exercise as you play!

__**Hockey is Better then them All.**__ Hockey is the best sport because it is extremely exciting to watch or play. I have grown up watching and playing the sport. This is because of my Dad, who was born and raised where the sport was created, Canada. And he was a professional hokcey player for a couple years in the NHL. For one, it is placed on ice, which puts itself in a very small category of sports that are played on that surface. The ice makes it a very fast pace game that increases the intensity. Everyone thinks of football to have hard hits, but hockey has just many hits in a single game if not more. Sometimes the hits end up in fights. The players square up and just go at it. Anything goes. Afterwards they are awarded a 5 minute penalty, but what other sport allows fights that doesnt get you thrown out for it? The greatest moment in sports history just happens to be in hockey as well. [|Miracle on Ice]. If this doesnt get you interested in the sport, i dont know what will.

Track isn't just running it is running, jumping and throwing. And you can do it indoor as well as outdoor. You can do track in most parts of the world and all the athletics come to together for the Olympic Games and it is great to watch them. It doesn't matter how old or which nationality you are to do track. It is perfect for people who don't like to be teamplayers and for people who like to be part of a team.You are a part of a team but it is not like to be a part of a soccer/ basketball team because you can go to the competitions as a team but when it is your turn to run, jump or throw you don't have somebody who is doing it with you together you are on your own but you are still fighting to get the best time/points to win the whole competition with your team. Track is the best sport because it is easy to learn and not that hard as other sports.
 * Track beats all the other sports**
