Basketball

The basketball season started last week and we are about to have our first game. Playing basketball will be a good way for me to stay in shape as well as stay busy after school. I’m able to continue to be a part of a team after soccer and can already see myself having a leadership role on the team.

The basketball team is definitely better than the soccer team but I was better at soccer so I am not expecting to get nearly as much playing time as I did in the Fall. There are already three senior captains from last year and unlike in soccer, I don’t expect to be made captain as well however it will be a good opportunity to experience playing a different role within the team than I had in a sport in the past.

Because of my age, I will be looked up to and relied on to lead the team off the court. I was able to do a good job of this last season and expect to continue.
