Hi everybody, my name is Alicia. Welcome back to top words.

Today we're going to talk about 10 phrasal verbs for sports and exercise.

So let's go. Go long.

The first word is go long, go long.

We use this word when we're playing catch or when we're throwing a ball.

So go long means we combine the word go with the word long,

meaning run far away from me, run a long distance away from me. So go is travel, move,

and long is a long distance away. So go long. We'll usually shout this before we pass a football, for example,

or before we throw a ball. Go long means I want to throw this a long distance. So please

run far, far away, and I will throw the ball to you. It's a nice one. In a sentence, I'm going

to pass this next one to you, so go along.

Try out for.

The next phrasal verb is try out for.

Try out for.

We use try out for to mean audition, like in sports, but to audition for a team, to apply to be a member of a team. When you do that, you usually have to show your sports, your sports-sporting experience,

or you have to show your athletic ability.

So to try out for is like a test to join a team.

Like, I want to try out for the volleyball team next year.

Or she says she's going to try out for golf next year or have you thought

about trying out for the swim team for example so to try out for a team to try

out for a sport this is how we can use try out for work up the next

phrasal verb is work up, as in work up a sweat.
