Ball game

The only sounds radiating from the nearly empty gym court were the dribbling of a ball against the hard wooden floor and the occasional swish or clank of the hoop. Sweat drenched my red shirt, staining it a dark shade of maroon, and the shoelaces of my Nike Air Jordans were becoming undone, but I barely noticed as I continued to practice that Kyrie Irving move I saw during the 2013 All-Star Rookie-Sophomore game: cross between the legs, behind the back, in and out, cross left, step back, and…

My Big Soccer Game It was a dark night the lights were shining and it was night exactly 6:30 p.m. It was the night of my last soccer game of the season and the next season would be even more challenging. I was happy that meant I was pumped up and ready to go. Sometimes I am not like that and my team does not have a good game. We just stopped doing headers into the goal, then we moved on. While we were practicing my friends Judda and Gavin walked over and they started talking to me. After, we…

the popular and continuously growing game of volleyball was thought of in 1895. The rules and skills started to evolve as the game grew more popular until it was an official Olympic sport in 1924. It started off with passing the ball back and forth until the three hit rule was developed. The game always started with a serve and as time went on, the serve became more and more complex. Different varieties and techniques of the serve started to emerge as the game grew. There are three primary…

WOOSH!!, the ball is high up in the air making its way down to the green,dry grass of the outer field. As it made its way towards me. I had no choice for the game rules itself, it was to catch or lose, letting the ball hit the ground rolling next to me watching it haunt me as I knew that I could of done something. But I wasn’t leaving that field with a defeat of my choice. I made the wise decision of what I thought was right, something that I knew that could represent myself as a player for what…

always had that dream about making the game-winning shot in basketball or making that diving catch to win the state championship in baseball. My dream was almost fulfilled on June 18th, 2015. The season started in March and went all the way until June. At the beginning of the season, I wasn’t sure how much playing time I would get. It turned out that I would only play in the field when my brother, Alex, pitched. Luckily for me, that was usually every game in the 6th or the 7th…

Soccer can lead to injury, although not as often as many other sport. This is because many of the things that lead to injury are to allowed. Soccer is also fun because it is a team sport. This…

coach of a boys team when I was first born, and my mom and I would always go to his games. In fact, his whole entire team signed a little plush basketball for me. I think that basketball is somewhere floating around my house still to this day. My dad, was the person to get me involved in basketball. I mean I was three, it’s not like I told him that I wanted to play basketball. Without him signing me up for the bitty ball league, I wouldn’t have scored my first ever basket. The first time I…

the amazing fresh air hearing the birds chirping. Hearing the umps yelling “let’s play ball” everyone cheering, first pitch is thrown heart sinks to your feet as you watch it spin till it snaps the catcher's glove, “Strike one” feeling relief your heart goes back to where it is suppose to be. Trying not to think to hard about throwing a strike takes a deep breath calmly lets it out throws the bright yellow ball “strike two” hearing everyone cheering, “ just one more” throws it and BANG!…

of sweat fell off my forehead. It was the bottom of the sixth and we were one out away from winning the World Series, he flashed me a two which meant curveball. I checked the runner, got my grip on the ball, and checked the runner again. I lifted my leg and let go of the ball. We were the last game of the tournament, it was August 1st and the daylight was just starting to slip behind the Rocky Mountains in center field. We were playing a team from Oklahoma City in the World Series championship.…

At this point, I looked over into the crowds, that was screaming my name and saw a CTV van and cameraman recording the game. I can't believe they sent someone from CTV to record me! This pumped me up I knew I had it in me to carry my team on my back and win us the game. Jason tried taking advantage of us while we were all distracted and he took a shot. I easily caught the ball with my hand and put it on the ground where I backhanded it at the net. The shot went right past the two diving…
