Spanish Sports

by Jessica, Jessie, Nate, Katey, Dan, Craig, Mike, Ashley, Erica, Ben, and Cassie :)

It is important to know Spanish sports because if you ever go to Spain you might want to play sports, or teach them. If you want to go to Spain and become a coach, you have to know how to say the sports. Or if you wanted to watch the Super Bowl and said you wanted to watch "Pescar," which means "fishing" you would get that instead of the Super Bowl.

The easiest way to remember racing in Spanish is to think of car. Carreras starts with car and there are car races.

Tennis is exactly how it looks.

Hockey is exactly how it looks too.

The way to say baseball is easy too. It is said the same, but just spelled a little differently.

Badminton is the same, but in Spanish the first n doesn't exist.

To make bat in Spanish, you must add an e to the end.

Voleibol is pretty close to our volleyball, don't you think?
