952 Words4 Pages

When I first started Carolina Courts I had no idea what I was getting into. First the season started horrible then our final game we reach the championships. I had no idea how unpredictable this season was going to be. If I could do it again I wouldn't have changed a thing. I was so excited as I saw the door of Carolina Courts this was going to be a great season. I made the gold team and my friend was on the team with me nothing could be better than this. As I walked inside I met my friend at the door. We hugged each other and both proclaimed to each other how awesome it was that we were on the same team. I met my teammates with and we all exchanged hellos. We started doing a warmup and stretching everything was good until we started skills. First we did passing no one could really pass but then I thought well we could work on that. Then we set, hit, digged and last serving and I felt as if no one met my skill set. What I didn't realize at the time was how cocky I was and how much potential my team really had. After the first practice I told my mom I wanted to quit. I told her they were beginners and I need a more advanced team to show off my skills.

One serve, two serve, three serve the game ended up being 25-15 wow that was terrible I thought hoping in the next three games the scores would be closer. The next game we played the best team and got our butts handed It was so bad. I can’t even remember the score but I don't recall us making over five points. The next team we played was the worst team and we only beat the by three point

    Drained of energy, I drag my legs across the gym floor trying to run faster and faster. I keep circling around the gym like a track star in a race, trying to get as many points as possible for my team in this game of kickball. I almost make it to home base when someone on my team kicks the ball like a wild ape and it gets caught by a giant sixth grader. As we are switching sides to play the outfield, the principal came in to yell at some boys who were acting just rowdy and pathetic. Once the principal took them to his office we continued our game of kickball.

  • Jump Shots: A False Game

    378 Jump shots bouncing off the rim, passes to the wrong team, a silence where one could hear a penny drop, and the word “BASELINE” is what I remember from practice two days before the Highland Park game. We were playing live against the scout team, but we were playing them like they were the ‘95-’96 Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan at the helm. After a few minutes of this nonsense, Coach McKendrick told our team to get on the baseline to run. However, it was not because we were playing poor. It was because our captains were not talking to our team and bringing more energy to our practice.
