Basketball

Basketball is a ten man game played around the world. It is a very complicated game as it involves tactics, speed, agility, ball skills and in Michael Jordan's case “AIR”. The sport is Basketball and we get taught by some professional trainers. Their names are Tai and Shae. We are taught in our school grounds at Pt England. Every week on a Thursday we attend basketball and we learn a lot of new skills like chest passing and doing a bounce pass.    

The most important skill in basketball is to dribble the ball because if you don't know how to dribble the ball you won't be able to play at all. But the skill that I am going to talk about are ball skills. Ball skills are very useful if you learn the correct skills to help you get around your opposition and score a point for your team. The chest pass is a pass when you use your legs to push your body forward to push the ball off your chest with a lot of power.

My class (room 21) haven’t played a proper game yet but we are getting to that stage. I really can't wait to try out the full game of basketball, because I think it will be a very challenging game.

I have only attended basketball once and it was very awesome. I learnt a lot during that one session and it was very cool.
