Ball Sports - JSON

Ball sports are a general term for competitions and events that compete for points using a ball or similar object. They include many popular sports worldwide such as baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis. While generally considered a type of sport, ball sports are classified based on tactical challenges into target games, net/wall games, invasion games (goal/post games), and striking/fielding games (bat-and-ball games). They make up a significant portion of Olympic events and are major competitions in international sporting events.
