Sports

I started out young playing sports probably around 5 or 6. I was the more athletic one out of me and my sister and I still am today. My dad always wanted me to be like him and to love sports as much as he did. I started out playing peewee basketball and tee ball. Peewee basketball used to be so much fun it was like the thing you always wanted to go do. We would have teams from all over the Cove Creek, Mable, and Bethel area. Basically, everybody knew each other. My parents when I was little they used to run it they were over everything. You started playing in kindergarten and you went all the up to 4th grade and once you hit 5th grade you started playing Jr. hornets basketball. That wasn't as fun as peewee was to me because know you had people from all over the county playing. During pee wee you played one game that was timed and you had refs so it was like a real game and the parents took it serious. They got into it more than the kids did. Your first year of playing you don’t know what you’re doing at all you just through the ball up and hope it goes in. They also lower the goal for you so you have a better chance at making a basket. The next couple of years of playing are about the same they don’t change very much until like the last two years of playing. The last two years you get to play full court and by this time you know what you’re doing and can play. I think the still lower the goals, I’m not positive though I can’t remember. Tee ball was fun too. You just hit the ball has hard as you wanted to and ran like crazy around the bases. I remember during tee ball we would have to line up in a row like an actual batting order. It was so cool being like a real baseball player or softball player. Most of the time the other kids didn’t know what they were doing. If you kind of knew what you were doing then you were good to go. I think that playing as a kid sets you up for your future in sports if you continue with them or not they still somewhat help you out in the future. Some people have bad experiences so they won’t ever play any kind of sport ever again but if you love it you stick with it.
