| I have been playing basketball for almost 4 years now. When I first started I really didn’t want to go because I thought it was boring and I used to be scared that the ball would hit me but after I started it I was drawn to basketball and kept getting better. Basketball has definitely changed my life because it taught me too sometimes be aggressive. I used to be very shy and timide but after I started basketball I started calling for the ball loudly and started socially interacting with other teammates.
At school I really like playing basketball because In my class I am the only one that plays basketball and my friends always encourage me. But one thing that I don’t like is that sometimes when we go to try out for our school’s team basketball not many of my friends want to go because they think basketball is boring or they don’t think they are good at it and it makes me feel bad, I understand that not everyone has to like basketball but sometimes I wish all my friends liked basketball and that we could all play together. This year I am in a group called Selects. In basketball there is 3 major groups and levels. The top level is Competitive where you have two practices a week with the same team and two games or more on the weekend. The middle level is Selects where you are in a competitive team and a House league team. In Selects you always play one House league game on Saturday and sometimes 2 Competitive games on Sunday. During the week I have 1 and half hour House league practice and on another day I have 2 hour practice with the Competitive team. I love to play basketball because when I play basketball I don’t think about if my team is winning or not I play basketball to improve my skills and just become a better player. |
