Church Ball

 

            In the duration of my four years of high school, I was very active in sports. I was always aggressive and serious about every game or match I played in. The sport I had the most fun with was basketball. I played quite a bit in my freshman and sophomore year, but when my junior year started, I began sitting the bench. However, being dedicated to finishing out everything I start, I decided to play my senior year too. Going out my senior was a bad decision because I sat the bench even more. Therefore, I quit school ball and took up the church ball team. Now that I was on a more relaxed team that did not practice every day, basketball became much more enjoyable.
             I had never really heard of church ball until a good friend told me to come to his game. I asked him if they were still taking players in and he said yes. The next day I went to their practice and talked to the coach. It turned out that I knew the coach because I had played for him when I was younger on a traveling team. I asked him if he needed another player and he happily took me in.
             I practiced with the team two days later and received quite a few compliments from the other players. We did many different drills, but we mostly scrimmaged each other. I never became tired because I was used to practicing much harder in school ball. After practice, I went home and my parents asked how the practice went. I told them that it was fun and that I was looking forward to my first game.
             I knew many of the people I was playing with on the team because like me, they also quite school ball. Most of the people were my friends. At least three of the people would be starting on the school team but they did not like the coach and the hard practices. Most of all I liked being able to screw up and not having to run sprints. The coach made things fun for everyone.
             We were halfway through the season and already I led the league in assists. When people from school came to watch me, they all asked why my high school coach never played me.
