In Costa Rica we play a lot of sports, but the most we play is soccer. Soccer is so important that even people can fight; they make gangs too, like the Ultra and the 12.
Now we are going to talk about some sports we like including soccer. One of these sports is motocross, and A. football, basketball, Tennis and car racing.
In Costa Rica we don’t play so much A. football only in schools or just for fun. Now in our school were starting a club.
Soccer in Costa Rica is the most common sport we play. The best team is Saprissa that was the third best team in the world in 2005. The second best is La Liga. The third is Heredia In this moment we are having a good time because Costa Rica soccer team is winning a lot of games by many goals like 7-0. We don’t have much history in soccer but the best times were in Italy 90 we almost beat Brazil. Then in Korea Japan we tied against Turkey that was third in that world cup. The best soccer player we’ve had is Paulo Cesar Wanchope. Chinese people are building a stadium for us in La Sabana, El Estadio Nacional.

In the Latin American in Ecuador Costa Rica in the category Mx1 (the biggest category and the fastest)got first, second , third, fourth and fifth. The last category is the veterans. The best racer in Costa Rica is Adrian Robert, but Ernesto “Lobito” Fonseca, but he had a terrible accident and he couldn’t walk or ride again. Now he is a judge in important events like: The X Knights Freestyle and The Latin American supercross.
In Costa Rica we don’t have a professional baseball league, but some people train and play at a park called La Sabana. It has 4 or 5 baseball diamonds and they are going to build the biggest soccer stadium on all Central America.

The best racers are Amadeo Quiros that races on a Lexus. his brother Javier Quiros is the best of all and one of my dad’s best friends. He is also the owner of Purdy Motors.

Vault in gymnastics is a fun filled apparatus!
Vaulting in different competing levels is very different. For instance vaulting in level 4 is a 2.4ft mat that has a spring board in front of it with usually 4 or 5 springs in it. What you have to do is run and jump up to a handstand with your hands on the mat and fall flat on your back. For level 5 and up there is a vault that looks like the picture in the top left and it can be made as high as , and as low as . There is also a springboard and depending on what level you are in that depends on how many springs are in it. There are many cool ways to go over the vault as you advance in levels.

AMERICAN SPORTS by Kenzington MacDonald
There are so many sports played in America. It is hard to name them all. There's soccer, football, volleyball, baseball, field hockey, softball, tennis, and basketball. I am going to tell you about the three most popular: soccer, football, and baseball.
Soccer is a sport played with your feet. Some countries call it football like France and Italy. The object of the game is to kick a ball or use any part of your body besides your hands to get the ball past the goalie into the goal. There are also penalties. The penalties are offsides and handball. Offsides is when a player goes in the other team's zone before the player with the ball on their team does. Handball is when a player touches the ball with their hands.
Football is a game played with your hands. The object of the game is to get the ball to the other side of the field into an end zone. You can pass the ball to other players on your team. There are certain things. The first thing is a penalty. A penalty is when someone hurts another player badly. They can't play for a certain amount of time. The second thing is pass interference. A pass interference is when a player is about to catch the ball, but another player from the other team tackles him. The third thing is offsides. Offsides is when a player crosses the line before the player on his team with the ball does.
Baseball is a game played with a bat and a ball. The object of the game is for the pitcher to throw the ball to the other team. The other team hits the ball and runs the three bases. They try to make it around them, back to the home plate to score. There are also penalties. These are when a pitcher throws the ball to the batter and hits him. The batter then gets to walk to first base. There is also a foul ball. This is when a batter hits the ball outside of the base lines. The player has to hit the ball again.
Soccer, football, and baseball are the most popular sports played in America. They have a lot of rules, and people like to watch and play them. Lets go sports!
