A handoff in football is when the quarterback gives the ball directly to a teammate, usually a running back, to carry it forward. This is done by the quarterback placing the ball into the hands of the runner, who then takes off to try to gain yards. The handoff is typically used in running plays and allows the team to move the ball down the field without throwing a pass. It is an important part of the offense and can help create running opportunities if the defense is focused on stopping passes.

A free throw in basketball is an uncontested shot taken from the free-throw line, which is located 15 feet from the basket. It is awarded after certain fouls are committed by the opposing team. The player has one or more chances to score points by shooting the ball into the basket without any defense. Each successful free throw is worth one point. Free throws require focus, good shooting technique, and consistency, as they can be crucial in tight games.

A layup is a basic basketball move where a player runs or moves close to the basket and gently places the ball into it, usually by bouncing it off the backboard. It is one of the simplest ways to score in basketball and is often done during fast movements or when the player is not heavily guarded. The player usually jumps close to the hoop while releasing the ball in a smooth motion to make the shot. It requires good timing, accuracy, and coordination.

A wide receiver is a player in American football who stands on the outer part of the field and tries to catch passes thrown by the quarterback. The wide receiver runs specific paths to get open, so the quarterback can throw the ball to them. Once they catch it, their goal is to run as far as possible, often trying to score by reaching the end zone. Wide receivers need to be fast and good at catching the ball, even when there are defenders trying to stop them. They help the team score points by catching and running with the ball.
