Explanation:

Basketball Rules

We will review the fundamental rules of basketball as outlined in the study guide.

  • Players on each team: There are 5 active players on the court for each team.
  • Key areas: The "key" is the restricted area under the basket. The "foul line" is where free throws are taken. "Out of bounds" is any area outside the boundary lines.
  • Violations: A "block" is a defensive foul if contact is made without establishing position. "Double dribble" occurs when a player dribbles, stops, and dribbles again, or dribbles with both hands. "Traveling" is taking too many steps without dribbling.
  • Net height: The standard basketball rim is 10 feet (3.05 meters) high.
  • Lay-up and free throw form: A lay-up involves driving to the basket, jumping off the inside foot, and releasing the ball off the backboard. A free throw requires a balanced stance behind the line, bending the knees, and a smooth follow-through.
  • Baskets worth: Free throws are worth 1 point, standard field goals are worth 2 points, and shots from behind the arc are worth 3 points.

Softball Rules

We will review the core concepts of softball.

  • Rules of the game: Played on a diamond with 4 bases. The objective is to score more runs than the opponent over 7 innings.
  • Positions on the field: There are 9 defensive positions: pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder.
  • Foul ball and force plays: A "foul ball" is a batted ball that lands outside the first or third base lines. A "force play" occurs when a runner is legally forced to advance to the next base because the batter became a runner.

Weight Training

We will review basic weight training terminology and anatomy.

  • Muscle locations: "Pecs" (pectoralis major) are in the chest. "Biceps" are on the front of the upper arm. "Quads" (quadriceps) are on the front of the thigh.
  • Rep vs. Set: A "rep" (repetition) is a single complete execution of an exercise. A "set" is a group of consecutive repetitions performed without resting.

Badminton Rules

We will review the scoring and shot types in badminton.

  • Types of shots: A "clear" is a high, deep shot to the back of the opponent's court. A "drop" is a soft shot landing just over the net. A "smash" is a powerful downward hit. A "drive" is a fast, flat shot. A "net shot" is played close to the net.
  • Match points: A standard badminton game is played to 21 points, and a match is typically the best of 3 games.

Volleyball Rules

We will review the rules and terminology of volleyball.

  • Definitions: A "kill" is a successful attack that results in an immediate point. An "ace" is a serve that lands untouched or cannot be returned. A "side out" is when the receiving team wins the rally and the right to serve. A "dig" is preventing a successful attack from hitting the floor. A "block" is deflecting the ball near the net.
  • Game points: Indoor volleyball games are played to 25 points (must win by 2), with a deciding fifth game played to 15…
