But few people outside of the US play this sport, It is popular in some Central American countries, such as Mexico, and some East Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea, But it is almost unknown in other parts of the world. There is also American football, a sport that is unique to the US and Canada, The sport is similar to rugby(英式橄榄球), which is more popular in Europe. Players have to carry, throw or kick the ball to a receiving player in the “end zone" in order to score points. But they have to get the ball past a wall of defending(防的) players first. US students who play these sports usually take them quite seriously. Some high school athletes(运动员)can go on to play on college teams,receiving scholarships(奖学金) in return for their performance on the field, Talented college players can be picked by national teams and become professional(职业的)players. So for some young athletes, playing sports after school can lead to a full-time career. Title: Fun sports Universal sports Kids all over the world play them such as 1. Unique sports 2.
