Basketball here and Basketball there!!!

Thursday. It was a cold morning. Crashing and bashing, trees colliding. It was like a storm emerging. Thursday the 15th , 9:00am our basket ball instructor still wasn't here. 9:30am, we heard an engine running, taps on the concrete floor and basketball bounces rebounding against it. Room 5 just knew it was time to go. Stop working, stop talking, it's time to play. As the wind forced us into the hall we walked in surprisingly looking around at the 4 basketballs in the bag and the man standing up straight talking to us.

Dribbling the ball up and down the St Therese Hall was harder then you think. Then cam defence, a game a board. It was all so confusing learning everything at once, I couldn't think straight, my mind was in a jumbled up basketball world.
What am I going to do?

"Hey Tai!"
Tai was our basketball instructor. We split into 2 groups and headed of to different places. My group learnt a combination of different techniques we can use in basketball, like dribbling, the jumpshot step and shooting. These three steps are very simple which we can improve on. Just remember shooting is all about the aim. Aim adn shoot. Learning basketball is fun adn we learnt alot of new things.

"Come on guys, GAME TIME!!!"

As we learnt how to dribble and shoot it was time to put our cool learning to the test. It wasn't a real game, but it was a cool practise game. Learning things is fun and also enjoyable. I learnt how to jumpshot, dribble and shoot in a basketball. It's all about thinking how you can get around the ball. My opinion on basketball is that it's fun and I can learn something from it.



"BASKETBALL IS FUN!!!"
