Basketball Session One

“Please sit down” said Coach Bruce. “These five people go and stand by the cones”. They were the team leaders. As Bruce gave us all a number we went and stood by the person who had that number on their hands. My team leader was Salote.

The first game we played was called, “Dribbling Relay” where the whole team had to dribble the ball around the cone before the other teams finished. The second game was called, “Dribbling Cones” where you had to dribble the ball and turn your colour cone over at the same time. The third game was called, “Run and Shoot” where you had to dribble the ball and run and shoot.

Our team didn’t win any of them because all the best players were in one team. All of the games were competitions against the other teams. Each team had their own names. One of them were named Breakers, Lakers, Power Rangers, Giants and Bulls. I was in the Breakers.

I really enjoyed Basketball, I just need to practise shooting because I was the only one in the team who didn’t get the ball in the hoop. I look forward to next week's lesson and the lessons after that.
