1. American football
Equipment: helmets, carcasses, gloves, boots, shields. Also players play with an oval ball, similar to a rugby ball.
The team has always 11 players, like in a normal football. Which team produces the first strike is determined by lot. The kicker strikes the ball hard in the opponent's direction. The catcher catches him, then tries to break as far as possible in the direction of someone else's scoring line. Partners help him, putting a barricade against rivals. Those try to stop the player who owns the ball, knocking him to the ground or pushing him out of the field. After they succeed, the extraditing team begins an attack. From this moment - and before losing the ball - it is considered an attacking team, and the other - defending.
2. Baseball
Equipment: bats, gloves, uniforms, helmets and balls.
The team has 9 (sometimes 10) players. The goal of the game is to score more points than the opposing team. A point is counted when the player of the team (attacker) runs through all the bases in turn.
3. Basketball
Equipment: uniform, special boots, baskets, balls.
The team has always 12 players. The goal of each team in basketball is to throw the ball into the opponent's basket and prevent another team to picks up the ball and throwing it into the basket of their team. Players are play only by hands.

Rugby includes the oval ball and throwing the ball forward is not allowed, so that players can gain ground only by running with the ball or by kicking it. There is no special equipment exept for a bit weird-shaped ball. The main target there is to earn "tries" for your team by crossing the goal-line with a ball.

One team bats, attempting to score runs, while the other bowls and fields the ball, attempting to restrict the scoring and dismiss the batsmen.
