Soccer is frequently included on a high school's fall sports menu, with football, cross-country, and volleyball. Basketball is a winter sport. Baseball, softball, tennis, track, and lacrosse all return in the spring. Boys' and girls' soccer, for example, are played in the winter in Arizona and Florida. In Europe, soccer is popular among children of all ages, while baseball is favored by young men. Basketball was originally known as "foot ball" because it was played on a field that had been worn down over time by use - there were no synthetic surfaces at this time, only dirt or grass. The first recorded game of basketball took place in 1844, but it wasn't called basketball then, it was called "New York Football", because that is where it was played. The word "basketball" is derived from the Native American language of the region, which meant "to shoot out". There are several differences between basketball and soccer. The main difference is that soccer has two teams who compete against each other using the foot to score goals, while basketball has one team who uses their hands to shoot balls into baskets. Soccer also involves attacking players who try to get the ball past the defensive players of the opposing team into open space where more players can join the attack.
