Soccer

These codes were uniting with the passage of time, but was in the second half of the seventeenth century when it gave the first major unification of football (rugby, football, Australian rules football ...), which gave rise to the sport today is known worldwide as football.








Volleyball


The volleyball was born on February 9, 1895 in the United States, in Holyoke. Its inventor was William G. Morgan, a director of physical education. This was a game of internal team with similarities to tennis. Although in his next birth to basketball in time and space, distance is clearly in his rudeness, in the absence of contact between players.











Tennis





Tennis is a sport played with rackets that dispute between two players (singles) or between two pairs (doubles). It originated in Europe in the late nineteenth century and expanded into a principle in the English-speaking countries, especially in its upper classes. At present tennis has been universalized, and is played in many countries around the world. Since 1926, with the creation of the first tour, is a professional sport. It is also an Olympic sport since 1988 Seoul because he had lost that category in Paris 1924.
