Basket Ball: Lesson 1

Today was my first time ever taking basketball seriously.

And I have to say: "Thank you Alan and Steve!" ^_^

At 8am, Joseph, Audrey and I met up with Steve at Solano Elementary and we walked to the basketball court in Elysian.

Steve taught me how to do basic stuff like shoot the basketball into the hoop the RIGHT way.

This is how you do it:

(aka the phail spelling of beef)
B. - bend your knees
E. - Elbow make an "L"
A. - Arch the ball
F. - Finish it!

and

(no.. not Advance Placement)
A. - Always
P. - Practice

I basically spent 1 hour shooting non-stop. At first the ball kept bouncing out. I didn't go in! I was like Mannnnn.. i'm so bad at this, but when the ball finally went it.. i was like YAY!!!!!

XD

Every time I missed, Alan and Steve would push the ball back to me and I'd shoot all over.

Sometimes, actually... a lot of times... I miss really easy shots and Alan would smack his face and shake his head. LOL And whenever my position starts to go out of position, Alan would lift up one of his arms and "power stroke" LOL (only AP bio ppl will know wad im talking about) XD He also keeps telling me to practice shooting with one arm, that way I won't shoot all over the place. hahaha.

Yeah, that's about it!

More practice tommorrow! =D
