Basketball was a challenge for us. We all had little to no experience before, so everything was new to us. It took us a…

I have many hobbies, but I like basketball the most. Basketball is like my best friend. The first time I played it, I felt interested. I was so interested in playing basketball after watching my brother play, however, I started learning when I was 9 years old. So I kept doing it. Even if I didn't win, my coaches alway said "You can't win, unless you learn how to lose." When I was in 5th grade my brother inspired me to do that. I…
There is nothing more chaotic then the Miami Heat arena. In between the yelling, and singing my ears begin to burst. When the opposite team scores, the people yell to boo! When Miami Heat scores, the people go wild. When the game is done, it is time to go home. Walking down the stairs, people chanting and bumping in to you everywhere you go. The AA Arena is the true definition of chaotic.…
A memory from my athletics that will stick with me forever was the last time I was able to lace up and play basketball on our home court. We played a long time rival, Aquin. The game was down to the wire and I was able to tie the game with 24 seconds left. Then we got the ball back and Ellie was fouled with about a second left, which if anyone on our team were to be put on the line, I would choose her. She went up and swooshed the first shot! Then, since Aquin wouldn't be able to get the rebound, make it down the court, and shoot with the time left, coach told her to miss the second shot. Ellie then winded up and chucked the ball right off the backboard so they ended up getting the ball out of bounds anyway. We blocked the throw in, and I ran…

I have always love to play basketball. The swish when you make it just right,and the boom of the basketball hitting the floor “are sounds I love”. When I first started playing basketball, my mom and my couch Richard knew that I was expectational. I played with Richard for a few years, then one day he told us about this newspaper ad he saw for a team named “Eugene Fire”. My mom decided to check it out, so she called the coach, Jim. He said I probably won't make the team, but I believed I could. So I would try anyways.…

The crowd cheering, the other games going on and the guys trying to make money at the pretzel stand. My team started off home so that meant we were in the field and they were hitting first. “Play Ball!” The umpire yelled when he wanted the game to start.…
My first time playing basketball was kind of scary because i thought i sucked at basketball, but i wasn't going to be bad at all my coach said. He actually said i would be pretty good. My first game was a different story i had to face some 6 foot giant in the paint. We were all in 5th grade i don't know what they were feeding that kid. He was eating little kids or something.…
I was about ten years old, 4th grade. My basketball team was awful and horrible combined into one word. Awfible? Well anyway, this game was leaning toward us this time. We were winning by two points, and I knew i had to step it up.…
Hearing the crowd scream as the stunt hits gets the adrenaline pumping to push through the routine and fight for the stunts. Can you guess what “sport” is being talked about? Well it’s cheerleading. Yes cheerleading is really a sport even though many people will argue it. Cheerleaders that are seen at the New England Patriots are sideline cheerleaders and do not show the physical aspect of cheerleading like competitive cheerleaders do. Although cheerleading is not seen as an official sport it is because cheerleading takes a lot of physical activity to preform and put a routine together, competition and sideline cheerleading are two different…
