sports

Do you have a favorite sport? I have a couple of them like, Basketball, Baseball, Football, Tennis, and last but now least I like Soccer. Some of my friends think that I don’t look like one of those people that play lots of sports, but I love playing sports. My real favorite sport is Basketball, why, because it’s such a good sport to play in. Once you start playing it, you would maybe want to join a team like at your own school or maybe some were else like outside of school. What I think of sports is that they are really enjoyable because they can be really fun or they can be really hurtful like getting hit in the face with a basketball, football, baseball and lots of other stuff. What I think people are trying to do with other people is trying to make them to join a sport so that they have something to do instead of sitting on the couch and eating some potato chips and watching a comedy show. Making them get some exercise.

Speaking of getting exercise, I love going outside and playing in the summer with all my friends. I a love playing basketball with them because I have a have my own basketball hoop. I got it from my parents and they got it from there work. This one guy that is working there didn’t want his hoop anymore so my parents got the hoop from him for $30.00. It was awesome because my parents didn’t tell me that until the guy came to my house on the weekend with his truck caring our new hoop. I told my parents that they were this guy that was pulling into our drive way with a big hoop. My mom said that was our new hoop. I ran outside to help them get it off the truck so I could play with it as fast as I could. From that day on I was playing with my new hoop every day. I still play with it now. I tell me friend when he has to come over to my house every day because he lives in brook field. When I was in 7^th grade, I was on my school’s basketball team. It was fun playing basketball with most of my friends. That year playing basketball all the shots that I had made were close ones. I made a total of 9 points that whole season. To me, that was an OK score. Most of everybody else on my team usually got that many in each game but I was happy with the score I got. In one of my games I got 7 points. It was awesome playing with them.

So that was me playing basketball that year. Now to talk about baseball my second favorite sport. When I was little, I was on a baseball team and my dad was one of the couches. Having my dad as one of the couches, I don’t know, you might think that it would be fun. My dad was an alright couch, it’s just that he would keep pushing me so that I would get better. When I was play baseball I didn’t win any trophies that I can remember. From when I was done play baseball when I was little, I never joined another baseball team. I always want to join another basketball team.

Speaking of throwing a ball around, when I was at my school, my friends and I would always play football outside in the 6^th grade field at mu old school. That’s what they called it there at my old school, I really don’t know why but that’s what they called. Everyone at that school called it the 6^th grade field. Even the teachers. Any ways, football at my old school was a big thing there. Then came soccer. Soccer was wasn’t my big thing because I have memories that I had when I was little. My best friend asked me join to his soccer team. So I asked my parents and they said sure. It was our first game, and I didn’t have any shin guards. I had the ball and I was running down the field, when this girl came up to me and kicked me as hard as she could to take the ball away from me so she could take it the other way and score. She kicked me in my shin were I wasn’t wearing any shin guards. I went down onto the field and my dad came running out on the field to pick me up so I wouldn’t get hurt again. My dad put me down in his seat and I was crying because I was only maybe 6 or 7 years old. It was the worst time of my life, getting hit by a girl. Any ways, after I was feeling better I asked my dad if he could go ask my couch if I could come back in and play, he said yes. So at the end of the game we won.

Speaking of getting hurt, last year I went to a daycare because my parents had to work during the summer like everyone else’s parents do to. So my sister and I went to this daycare called La Casa de Esperanza. It was an ok daycare but in the summer they made us do reading and math and some other stuff that we shouldn’t do over summer vacation. Ok, to the tennis part. We had this lady that came over every Thursday to take us to the gym or take us to a tennis court. We would always play tennis there because it was a tennis court. So one day it was really hot outside and the lady thought we should go outside instead of playing in the gym where it was nice and cold.  So we were playing a game that she calls king and Queen. So there would be to people that are partners and they go on one side of the tennis court and there is a line on the other side of the court and they are trying to beat the king and Queen. Whoever stays the longest being king and Queen, win. So I got to be king and Queen with my friend Emanuel. We just call him E-man for short. So we were king and Queen. So we served them the ball and we were going for a long time. At the end whoever wins, gets a prize. Until I hit the ball over to them, and they hit it back to me and it hit me in my head. So I had to sit down for a little while so the teacher made sure that I was OK. At the end I was ok and I got a prize.  

So those are what kind of sports I like to play and some things that happened to me when I was playing those sports. So if I were you, try and play that king and Queen Game. It’s really fun, but you have to have lots of people playing it or else it’s not that fun. So instead of sitting on the couch or doing thing that involves do nothing, get outside and get active.
