A. Bowling

-  Bowling is thought to have existed in England and the Netherlands around 1100 A.D. In the early 1600s, as the Dutch
colonized the Americas and established the city of New Amsterdam (currently New York), they introduced the sport to the
United States, where it was played using nine pins assembled into a diamond shape.

- A bowling lane is 42 inches wide and 60 feet long, from the foul line to the head pin. The two lines of dots are called
approach dots, with the first set located 12 feet away from the foul line and the second set is 15 feet away from the foul line.

- Pins, Bowling Ball

B. Tennis

- The inventor of modern tennis has been disputed, but the officially recognized centennial of the game in 1973 commemorated
its introduction by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873. He published the first book of rules that year and took out a patent
on his game in 1874.

- The court is 23.77m long and for singles matches, 8.23m wide. For doubles matches the court is 10.97m wide. The court is
divided into two equal areas by a net suspended by a cord or metal cable attached to two net posts. The net is 1.07m high and is
fully extended to that it fills the space between the two nets posts.

- Racquets, Tennis Balls

- Referees, Umpires

C. Basketball

- Basketball began in 1891, it was invented by James Naismith, as being a less injury-prone sport than football. He was a 31-
year-old graduate student when he created the sport, keeping players indoors during the winter. The game became established
quite quickly, and it grew very popular into the 20th century. - Water aerobics.

- The court is a flat, hard surface free from obstructions, 28m long and 15m wide, measured from the inner edge of the
boundary line. The backcourt is the team's own basket, inbounds part of the backboard and the part of the playing court limited
by their own endline, side lines and centre line. - Aerobic exercise classes.
