Sports today

So today in PE, we practised for sports day. It was really fun. We started off with tug-of-war. We learned how to properly do tug-of-war and win. We had to lean our backs and make it straight. By the end, everyone had a mild ropeburn on their hands, and their biceps from the rope rubbing against it. It was like all red like a lobster. Then we practised fro the 5 legged race. In my case, because I teamed up with 4 other girls, we had a 6-legged race. We won with a record of 1'05" around the basketball court against a group of boys, who were just really uncoordinated. Their punishment was that they had to do pushups, but still tied together. Then after that, we didn't do anything else and got freetime for the rest of the period, so I picked up a soccerball and started practising for the soccer game on Sunday. I really like soccer, although I never actually played it in school. I have a soccerball at home, and its the only sports equipment I can play with that wouldn't make much of a sound, since I live in an apartment and the noises would annoy the neighbors. So at home when I get bored, I kick around a soccerball. I love dribbling the soccerball and I've played it so much that I'm actually used to the ball around my feet and I can manipulate it in most directions I want. (But obviously, I'm still not very good at it, and need much more practise). Then after PE, I went on to basketball practise. For me, this was the funnest basketball practise, mostly because I didn't get yelled at at all, which means that I didn't make much mistakes. I even managed to shoot in some balls during the drills, which was usually hard for me. Furthermore, today, I joined the team of the older players, so generally, it was an easier game, because the people were more experienced. When I play with the other team with people like me who just joined basketball this year, sometimes its hard to play because the older players keep getting the ball from us, and also I have to do a lot of the running. It's really annoying. Plus, with the older team, I know a lot more of their tactics so it was really fun. So today, in general, was a good day for me. I can't wait for tomorrow's match against this other school! I finally get to wear my jersey.
