Passage A
Sometimes, kids feel that they don't like sports because they might not understand how to play them or they haven’t had much practice doing them.
Sports can seem complicated because of all the rules and special equipment. Even the fields and courts they’re played on come in different shapes and sizes.
People spend many years learning about their favourite sports and practising how to play well. So don't feel bad if you don't know the difference between a “corner kick" and a “goal kick" in soccer. If you want to learn more about sports, you might join camps or programmes that teach kids how to play sports.These may be better than just joining a team that starts playing games right away without much explaining first.
Gym classes and intramural programmes at school also can be a way to try new sports with a group of kids.Another way to learn about a sport is to watch some videos or DVDs or check out library books that explain the rules and offer advice for kids to learn to play it.
If you have an older friend or family member who's good at a sport, you might ask him or her to help you learn about the sport. He or she must be willing to teach you how to play the sport. He or she will also give you some good advice about playing the sport.
