Personal Narrative: Middle School Basketball

I sat there, riding home from a football game finding myself spacing off thinking about basketball. basketball is starting soon and i cant help thinking about getting to play varsity. I miss the smell of the gym right before a basketball game and the feel of the basketball grooves. I actually kind of miss the bad tasting water from the school water fountain. One thing that I miss the most about basketball is the feeling of trying your hardest and succeeding at it. I’ve been playing basketball since i was only 7 years old. I played with members with some of my 9th grade friends and some of my 8th grade friends.We started playing on a seven foot rim at the famous YMCA in sioux city. We were very good for a young age playing basketball. We
We were all really nervous for the tournament. But then our couch came up to us and gave us some words of wisdom like do our best, i know you can beat them, stuff like that. The buzzer rang and we started the game. Its seemed like the longest game i have ever played but its was finally over and we won our first tournament game. I am now 12 and started middle school basketball. Middle school basketball was a huge change for me. It was a change for me because instead of 8 players on a team you now have 19 kids on one team. There was good things and there was bad thinks about 19 kids on a team. The good part about it was that everybody got to play, also i think it made our opponent scared that we have that much players. The bad news about it, is that there are less time to play for me because our couch wanted everybody to play. In middle school i think practices were a little different. Practice is a big part of basketball and i think when i was little, practices were a lot harder than middle school practices. When i was little i remember running a lot more than middle school. I also remember more discipline if you mess up or run a play wrong. Playing middle basketball felt like nothing else
