They are generally outdoors, but many large structures exist to enclose playing fields from bad weather. Generally, playing fields are wide expanses of grass, dirt or sand without many obstructions. There is a variety of different commonly used fields, including: American football field, Association football (soccer) pitch (field), Australian rules football playing field, Baseball field, Cricket field containing the cricket pitch, Lacrosse field, Rugby league playing field (pitch or paddock), Rugby union playing field (pitch or paddock). In other sports, the field of play is called a «court»: basketball court, tennis court, volleyball court. Some sports take place on the outdoor or indoor tracks, for example cycling. A shooting range or firing range is a specialized facility designed for firearms practice. A hippodrome was a Greek stadium for horse racing and chariot racing. Some present-day horse racing tracks are also called hippodromes, for example the Central Moscow Hippodrome. Water sports are held in swimming pools. As for winter sports there is also a wide variety of sports venues. Some sporting events are held on different types of rinks (speed skating, ice hockey, curling), tracks (luge, skeleton, bobsleigh) or on the natural terrain – smooth or bumpy (mogul, skiing, snowboarding etc.). An ice hockey rink is an ice rink that is specifically designed for ice hockey, a team sport. Rink, a Scottish word meaning «course», was used as the name of a place where another game, curling, was played. Early in its history, ice hockey was played mostly on rinks constructed for curling. The name was retained after hockey-specific facilities were built. As for tracks there are a total of sixteen tracks in the world, in use for competitions in bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton. All of the tracks except St. Moritz, Switzerland, which is naturally refrigerated, are constructed of reinforced concrete and piped with ammonia refrigeration to cool the track down prior to its run.

Exercise 11. Read and translate the following article into Russian with the help of a dictionary. Entitle the article and express its main idea in several sentences. We study at the Lesgaft State University of Physical Education. The students of our University take up different kinds of sports. They train in different places: gymnasts – in the gymnasium, basketball, volleyball and handball players – on the indoor and outdoor sports grounds or in sports halls, tennis players – on the tennis courts, track-and-field athletes usually train on the stadiums in the open air. Three times a week we have special training lessons. As a rule, each training lasts about 3 hours. Every training session begins with a warming-up period which lasts about 20 minutes. It consists of slow running for about a half mile, then fast running for about a quarter mile. Next, the sportsmen do a few exercises which depend on their event. After the warming-up we rest for about 5 minutes before we start practising. The warm-up of the body is very important. It helps to prevent pulled muscles. We train according to the trainer's instructions. The coach enjoys athletes' perfecting their skills. He or she pays great attention to mastering technique, tactics and the main elements of sports. Sometimes we train with a team or a partner. We perform different exercises and get ready for contests. Exercise 12.
