Various sports attract fans for different reasons：Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch.Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey -2 billion fans
Hockey，both on ice and on a field，wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide.Field hockey is mainly played in Europe，Africa，Asia，and Australia，while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US，where kids grow up playing pond hockey.Unlike ice hockey，field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football -4 billion fans
Football，better known as soccer in the US，is by far the most popular sport in the world.Experts estimate that the origin（起源） of football may go as far back as two thousand years，beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty.One major reason for football's global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment，all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball-900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net，each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent's floor.A popular variant，beach volleyball，is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team.The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis -1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches.In tennis，players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent（對手）or bounces twice on their opponent's side of the court to score points.Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal，and Serena Williams are now household names around the world，with huge international fan bases.

2． Playing sports is a lot of fun.Getting hurt is not. （1）
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play.Helmets（頭盔）are the most common protective equipment.They protect your head while you're playing football，baseball，softball，skateboarding，and so on.
Warm up.
（2）Doing some stretches（伸展）can get you prepared to hit the field.By warming up，you get yourself ready to play.Warming up and practicing a sport help keep you safe，too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together.This works because drivers know the rules and follow them-at least most of the time.（3）When players know the rules of the game，fewer injuries happen.For example，you know that in soccer you can't come from behind，crash into a player's legs，and steal the ball.It's legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.

3．If you have ever done competitive sports，you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.（1）
Here are a few ways to make sure that you're ready for the first day.
（2）Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it.Ask your coach，gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan.Besides，write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
Ask your coach if you aren't sure what you need.New equipment can be expensive，so think about using some second-hand equipment if it's available.Brothers，sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.（3）You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice.If you are a returning player，take out all your equipment，try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
（4）Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts.College players，coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps.Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate.Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season，doctors tend to be busy those times of the year.Therefore，set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.（5）

C.Just make sure that it's very clean and safe to use.
