Dear Andrew,

I was excited to hear that you're taking up a sport to stay fit and feel better. Both basketball and tennis are great choices, but it can be a tough decision to pick just one! In Russia, popular sports among teenagers include football (soccer), volleyball, and swimming. Many young people also enjoy martial arts like judo and taekwondo.

In terms of sports facilities at our school, we have a gymnasium with basketball courts, a swimming pool, and a track for running. We also have a volleyball court and a football field. Students can use these facilities during physical education classes or after school for their own practice.

As for sports competitions at our school, we have inter-class tournaments in various sports throughout the year. We also participate in regional competitions against other schools in the area. It's a great way for students to showcase their skills and teamwork.

I hope this gives you some insight into sports in Russia. Let me know if you need any more information or have any other questions.

Looking forward to hearing about your sport choice!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
