My first Basketball tryout and team
It was about maybe a year ago now since the last time i walked in with my nice purple jersey i knew a lot about the sport but i just did not know about the rules and that made me not want to play on any team but one day that all changed spring 2014 we went to the ymca at about five pm noun the sun was setting it was getting cold. We drove into the ymca parking lot and parked our giant van. We opened our car doors and got out of the van we approach the glass door of the ymca and open it. And smell the nice pool water and all u see is the desk with all the workers. My mom looked around for the forms and we were playing around and looking at the pool with all of the swimmers in there then the basketball coach walked out of the gym and by the door. the workers told my mom that he was the basketball coach and mom was like guys this is the basketball coach. He was tall he had one a blue ymca shirt a black hat and black pants he reached his hand out and gave me a hand shake he said u guys like basketball we all said yes he said cool are you signing up my mom said yes and he said well i will see u soon because we will have a tryout on a saturday my mom said ok and we left the ymca It was dark we got into our car and left the parking lot.
In about a few days one of the spring basketball season was about to begin we got ready at 10:00 in the morning we left and drove there and got there at 11:30 and walked into the building and all we see is 4 and five year olds bouncing basketballs. And you hear an echo in the gym bang bang bang bang bang and about 30 kids running around. We searched the benches for a seat and sat down to watch. My mom calls my brother and told him it was his turn right then he said oh and got up from his bench and ran over on the gym floor and went to grab a ball from the basket he picked a courts and started launching shots. in a short period of time so coach calls all of the kids over and lined them up on the wall he said some stuff to them and they went into run position and started running. Half of the kids were on the wall waiting to go next. When the first group came back the second group started running after they finished running they lined up for shooting drills. he made all of his shots they were all up close. When they finished that the last thing they did was dribbling they had to run back and forth while bouncing the basketball finally there part was over.
Then came my older younger brothers turn he walked on to the gym floor and grabbed a basketball and there tryout was the same as the last one. Then it was my tryout 12 to 16 year olds it was no longer kid basketball it was now teens i was only 12 back then everyone else was at least 13 or 14 everyone else was taller than me. The coach told us the teams and line ups. I was in the second line up they did tip off and the game started the people on the left of where i was sitting they were writing the teens skill and level on their forms halfway in the game the coach put me in the game as the game passes by so far everyone has been running back and forth down the field. the coach called a timeout and put half of us out the rest of the game. when the game was over the coach said he would call us to tell us who our personal coach was we left and went back home.
Later in the day my younger brothers got their information before me. That made me even more anxious to know about my team information the information came at night time and i was with coach Matthew so one from when we first went to see about basketball at the ymca they also said practice was on thursdays. That is my story
