Ball game

players and only 13 rules. Surprisingly he used a soccer, my favorite sport, to invent basketball. The story is he was asked to invent an indoor game, within two weeks, made to distract a disruptive group of students. On January 20th, 1892, the first true game was played, but the first game was on December 21st, 1891.There were originally 13 rules in the game but over the years they have…

Something tapped me. I woke up and I saw my dad. I knew what day it was and I got filled up with excitement. Today was the the USC vs UCLA game. It was a big game because we were rivals and we were going with my dad and my two cousins Evano and Matthew. Both of them were boys and they both play football. Evano was 15 and Matthew was 12. I put on all my clothes and we got ready to go. We grabbed the tickets and went to our car. We drove all the way to a starbucks near where they lived and picked…

so much common sense that is needed to play, even understand this game that it just shouldn’t be worth anyone’s time. Coaches have to remember signs to give his players. And they have to know how the game works, and which players go where and can do what. Yes they say that as soon as one game ends you forget it and move on to the next. But the coach never forgets. He knows the details, the dirt, the grime of the game. Of every game. He puts his players out there and expects them to risk their…

History making is in the air and the game is getting closer to the end, you only have one chance to make one shot, to cash your check in the bank and the buzzer sounds. Your team wins because of you! You did it! But how? Basketball is amazing. Everyone says, “ball is life” but I personally believe I bring life to basketball. My natural athleticism and electrifying excitement I bring to the court is primarily why I believe what I do. I get fans riled up, I get the crowd jumping out their seats, I…

The Game of Baseball The game of baseball is played around the world. Baseball is played with two teams of nine players on each team. Baseball is played with a glove bat and ball. You may not need a lot of equipment to play baseball, but you do need a lot of knowledge for the game if you want to win. The nine players are placed throughout the field with a first basemen, second baseman, shortstop, third baseman, pitcher, and a catcher. These players make up the infielders. The outfield has…

different kinds of balls. There was anything for footballs to bouncy balls. I took a bat and started to hit anything I picked up out of the bucket. I didn’t know that this would lead to a new life. A year later when I was 4 I was allowed to play t-ball and soccer. I really found the love and passion for baseball at this young age. Instead of practicing many sports with my dad, now we mainly practiced baseball. We did many different drills. He would pitch me many different kinds of balls.…

Saturday morning. In a couple of hours, my team would be playing our second game against Waiakea High School. Winning this game meant that the Konawaena girls Water Polo team would be put into fourth place in the playoffs, which was in 20 days. I had confidence in my team that we would be able to perform well and I knew that because of our hard work and dedication during practice, it would prepare us for a successful game. My first year of playing Water polo so far has been a great…

One fall afternoon on a chilly day in 2012, I was playing for LCSC against Canton Celtic in the state cup finals. The game was at noon and I had prepared myself some oatmeal for breakfast, knowing that eating healthy would help me during the game. Most of our team arrived an hour early to warm up, but I was running late and arrived only a half hour early. Stepping on such a well cut field filled me with joy and took my mind off of the fact that I was so late. Canton Celtic has been our biggest…

I learned an important lesson the day I was a ball hog in basketball. I took a bad shot at the end and the other team came back and won in our first game of the playoffs. In basketball you have to have good I.Q and be smart with the ball to set up open teammates. Today, after that game I learned how to pass better and set screens. It was the first day of the playoffs. All of the teams were crammed in the middle school. After the regular season we were a 4th seed facing a 5th seed. My team…
