Basketball

I play on the Tigers basketball team. We practice on Thursdays. 

We stretch first, then we do drills and then play a game. We wear jerseys to know which team we're on. 

I have scored a couple times. One time I scored a 3 pointer! We have a fun coach and helpers from the university. My favorite helpers are Wanda and Vivian.

 In basketball you dribble the ball down the court and pass to your teammates so they can shoot and score. 

A basketball is made of leather and filled with air. It's about 30 inches around.  

                                                                      

Basketball courts have wood floors.  Basketball is a sport where 2 teams score points by shooting a ball through a hoop. 

Kobe Bryant plays for the LA Lakers. 

                                                        

Olympia High school has a  basketball team as well.
