Baseball

was invented in the middle of the 18th century and since that time the rules of this game remained nearly unchanged. Baseball is played at large stadiums. There is no time limit, and may be it is one of the reasons of its popularity. High schools and colleges have their own baseball teams. Most of the cities have at least one professional baseball team.
There are many beautiful winter sport centres in the U.SA. The typical winter sports, such as skiing, skating and, more recently, snow-boarding arc very popular.
Tennis and squash are leading summer sports in the U.S.A. Squash is a game for two or four players played in a four-walled court with a special racket and a soft ball. There are also a great number of specific water sports, such as yachting, wind-surfing, wave-gliding which are loved by many young people.
