My favourite thing to do

Sports

One of my favourite things to do is play sports. I play tennis, basketball, and netball.

I stared playing tennis about 3 years ago. It looked fun to me so I thought that I might try it, and I found that I was pretty good at it. I play in the interclub and I play for the Manawatu Lawn Tennis Club (or MLTC for short). I play with 4 other girls that are in my team, Ruby, Zahnia, 

   Zlata, and Ella. We play on Saturday mornings and we play 1 doubles game and 1 singles. But since we only have 5 players usually someone misses out on their doubles and someone else misses out on their singles each week, and we always swap around so everyone gets a fair turn.

Basketball I stared last year. My friend Emma said that I should do it. But I didn't. Then Mr R's team lost a player so he asked me to replace him. I talked to my mum and dad and they said that I should do it. When I told Mr R that I could play he told me that the game was next Thursday. So I had to practice, practice, practice. When Thursday came I felt a bit nervous to start off with but when I got on the court I was always having fun and really enjoying it. So I played for the rest of the year and this year I got into another team with some of my friends.

Now netball. I started 3 years ago when my mum suggested that I do netball. I said OK I'll give it a try. I got into a great team and the year after that my mum coached me. This year I got into the best only year 6 team which I was aiming for and I was really happy when I found out. I have been practicing a lot lately and I try to do 100 hoops a day.

I just love to do sports. It keeps me happy and fit. I can even EXPRESS myself through sports. Eg: If I win then I feel happy and I show it, and if I lose I can look sad, though sometimes I can hide it pretty well. etc.
