5 Crazy Bowling Rules

Crazy bowling is new type of bowling which is very popular among the people who love whacky kind of sports. Take a pair of mitten, a blindfold, a pair of dice and pins.

* Have someone stand in front and put the bowling pins between his spread legs. Blindfold the player and put the mittens on him. Then he can bowl and knock down the pins.
* Change hands to make bowling crazy. If you are left handed then use right hand to knock the pins and vice versa.
* Let the player sit on the floor and try to knock the pins by pushing the ball with your feet.
* Roll the pair of dice, if you get the strike or a spare through the dice that becomes your score for the bowling.
* Sit on somebody else’s knees and bowl. You can also bowl by standing on one foot.
* Predict the score before starting the game and if the score is the same then it can be counted as a strike.

Cricket

The batting style is individualistic and cricketers try to evolve their own styles for better performance. Although every match is different from the other and the batting conditions change yet two techniques help to improve the batting ability.

* The first and the foremost technique is to build a solid defense. The batman should be like a wall when he is defending a good ball. A defensive stroke is the ultimate mean of survival. Solid defense is not only required for test cricket but it is also important for the one day matches.
* Another important technique is to keep constant eye on the ball. If the batsman remove his eyes from the ball, then he is liable to play bad stroke. Pay attention to the ball from the time it is in the bowler’s hand till it touches the bat.

Swimming

Swimming in the ocean is exciting and fun but one needs to be wary of a few things when swimming in the oceans. These include:

* The ocean currents: The currents are the small rivers of water flowing in the ocean which have little higher or lower temperature that the ocean water. Never get into the current as it can drag you away from the shore and it becomes very hard to swim back against it.
* The channels leading to sea: There may be channels in the coral that go to the sea. If you get entangled in one of these channels then be assured that you are in big trouble.
* The shark attack: Though not very common yet be wary of the sharks in the oceans. Ask and enquire whether there had been any shark attack in that region or not. Avoid the ocean where there had been any shark attack ever.

Hockey

Floor hockey is quite similar to ice hockey only difference being it is not played on ice.

* The floor hockey is played with a hockey stick, puck and goal posts. Six players play in a team. The size of the floor hockey field is similar to the basket ball field. The goal posts are at the opposite ends of the field.
* The puck is dropped in the center to begin the play. Players have to hit and push the puck with their hockey sticks.
* The goal is scored when the puck is in the net or goal. Breaking the plane of the net’s bar is also considered a goal.
* The puck has to be handled by stick only. Holding it with hand causes a foul. Too much of body checking is not allowed.

Basketball Tips

Strong core is one of the requirements to become a good basketball player. The core of the body connects the lower and the upper parts of the body. The typical moves that are needed in basketball use a lot of core strength like

* When the player twist on a side to grab a ball that is passed
* Bends down to grab a ball near the feet
* Dribbles the ball
* Stretches up and out to grasp a ball on rebound
* Grabs the rebound away from the opponent by twisting the ball out from their hands.

Thus most of the actions in basketball involve the core of the body so the core has to be strong.
