BASKETBALL

I learned basketball when I was 8 years old. Because my father taught me the basics of basketball. I’m very happy because, at my age of 8 years old, I know how to play basketball. Now I’m playing an inter- baranggay and inter-church tournament. My position is shooting guard, but sometimes point guard. And I’m always watching the NBA and PBA because my idols are there, and I want to steal their moves. 


At the start of the game, a referee tosses the ball at the center of the court between two players. One player from either team tries to get their hands on the ball, which is then passed on to the teammates. For a team to score a point, they need to shoot the ball through the basket. If a shot is made from a distance that is closer to the basket than the 3-point line, it earns 3 points, and the team that has the most points is declared the winner. In case of a tie, there may be additional time allotted to both teams. In the game, a player cannot move if he is holding the ball. The player needs to dribble; otherwise, it is considered a foul. Likewise, when there is a physical contact that affects the other team, it counts as a physical foul. The game game of basketball was first played almost 128 years ago.


As well as being a great way to stay fit, basketball can also help you make new friends and see them regularly, which can teach you about being a good team player. It can be played by people of all ages and abilities. Basketball literally is my life. My life completely revolves around basketball.
