Volleyball and French

Today I saw a great lesson taught to grade fives on how to play volleyball. As the lesson unfolded from learning simple tasks to the more complex, I started to see parallels to learning French. 

Bumping = precise pronunciation

Setting the ball = speaking using the correct verb endings

Rally = mini dialogues 

Serving = starting a conversation 

Spiking = impressive vocabulary 

Any other parallels?
