Every sport has a different set of rules, scoring system, venue, and objective. Basketball is a team sport played on a court, and the objective is to score more points than the opponent by shooting the ball through the hoop. Football is played in a specially-marked field, between two teams of 11 players, with an objective to net most goals to win. Golf, on the other hand, is an individual sport. It is played in specially designed courses. Each player has to put the ball in the hole (or cup) with the fewest shots possible.
Just as each sporting venue is different, the terms associated with each of them is different as well. For example, in cricket, the slip is the area behind the batsman on the off side of the field. A fielder positioned here is called a slip fielder.
To learn some such terms, try your hand in this game of memory: Match each sport with the term associated with the field or court it is played on.
