B2 Phrasal verbs for sport

Some time ago, I gave lists and lists of phrasal verbs to my students. Now I realize that it’s impossible to memorize all these forms and that just learning a handful for a more specific area is much more entertaining and helpful. I won’t delete all the activities on phrasal verbs that I have been posting, but from now on, I’ll try out this new idea. (Yes! There’s always room for improvement, even for language teachers 😀 )

Here you have ten phrasal verbs of level B2 that have been contextualized within the topic of sport and competition. Have a ‘good’ look at them and test yourself on the quiz below.
