Please answer #1 & 2 for this lead up activity-

Ex:

2.


Questions to answer:

1. Select an individual sport - It must be a sport that a clear winner is defined after an office game/match/etc. The sport must have defined rules (ex: Marathon verse running- both are the same activity but the marathon is a sport that has a clear set of rules and winner while running is just an individual activity)

2. Locate a resource that includes- Rules, strategies, and history-

*If you have determined your Individual Sport and found a resource you can watch the "how to video" below and start on the Team and Individual Sports paper on the questions for the individual sport.

Answer 1

1. Tennis (singles)

2. Resource: Tennis — Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis)
- Why this resource: the Wikipedia tennis page includes clear sections on the rules and scoring, common strategies and tactics (serve-and-volley, baseline play, etc.), and a well-sourced history of the sport from its origins to the modern professional era. It’s a single, easy-to-access source that links out to official rulebooks and deeper articles (e.g., the ITF “Rules of Tennis” and the International Tennis Hall of Fame) if you need more authoritative or detailed information.

Why I chose tennis:
- It defines a clear winner (point/game/set/match scoring) and has an explicit rule set used worldwide.
- It combines technical skill and tactical strategy, which makes it a good subject for analyzing both rules and strategies.
- It has a long, documented history and abundant learning materials (rulebooks, coaching guides, videos) to support your paper and the “how to” video viewing.
