Similarities and differences between Basketball and Street Ball

Street Ball is a sport that evolved from Basketball so these sports have more similarities than differences.


Both Basketball and Street Ball require skill, strong constitution and tall height. Similarly, these sports have rules, baskets and balls. But while basketball players play normal basketball and use full court and two baskets, streetballers play with only half-court and one basket. Basketball players have to run long distances, that waste energy very fast, in comparison streetballers don't, they can score by using combination in three passes. 

So Street Ball is a good game for people, who don't want to use much energy, and it is also good, if children took half-court to draw some pictures, because you can use another half and play Street Ball.

    Windsurfing and surfing have many differences and similarities. I'll start with difference. Windsurfing is easier than surfing. It can be used on lakes, ponds or on the sea. Windsurfing has many different types of boards for different types of windsurfing, which is not nearly as common in surfing. 
   




Surfing appeared later than windsurfing. Also it hasn't got a sail. If you want to have immediate level, you should train a lot.
   Now about similarities. Both of them belong to a surface water sport. They use boards. With their help people can ride on the water.
    

Golf and croquet.

Golf and croquet are sport games  which have similarities and differences. In  both games players use balls and clubs, but in croquet they use wooden balls and hammers and in golf they use special balls with holes and special clubs. Also both games can be played by two people or two commands. In golf you have to knock a ball in the hole to win, while in croquet your ball has to pass 9 "gates" and finally touch your team's peg.

Similarities and differences between skateboarding and snowboarding.


Skateboarding is a sport that evolved from snowboarding so these sports have many similarities.  Skateboarders use a skateboard, a special board with small wheels on it. In comparison, snowboarders need another board called snowboard. It doesn't have any wheels so in contrast to skateboarders, who can ride everywhere, even on handrails, snowboarders can ride only on snow.

 Similarly, both sports are very precarious and require strong legs and good equilibration.Unlike snowboarders, skateboarders don't need any equipment like special shoes or fixing stuff.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TENNIS AND SQUASH.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TENNIS AND SQUASH.


Squash is a sport that evolved from tennis and they have some similarities and differences. I’ll start with differences. Squash is played by hitting against the wall against another player in a 4-wall enclosed court indoors, while tennis is played with a net separating two side of opponents court and it’s usually outdoors. Squash's ball, in comparison, is much smaller but denser than tennis's ball. A squash racket has much more smaller racket face area than that of the tennis, but their shapes are quite similar. A squash match lasts shorter (usually 1.5 hours), unlike a tennis match can last more than 3 hours on many occasions.
Now some similarities. Both sports need balls to play and more than one player. Like tennis players, squash players can play single (two players) or double (four players). There are also out line, service line that share a court of these sports. Similarly, both players can use different types of hitting a ball (service, volley, with the rebound and smash). Like in tennis, both men and women can take part in squash.
