My favourite sport so far during PE has been basketball.
Basketball is a ball sport in which 2 teams play against each other, scoring points by shooting the ball into a hoop on each side of the court. The amount of points earned with each ball successfully shot through the hoop varies on where the ball was shot from. anywhere outside the 3 point line is 3 points, and anything inside it is 2 points. Free throws grant the team one point.
Running with the ball for more than 2 steps is not allowed (foul known as ‘travel’), holding the ball with both hands when dribbling is also not allowed.
I enjoyed playing basketball a lot as I like playing basketball outside of school. Basketball was the sport I was most engaged in during PE, I also tried my best during basketball. The sport that I am most engaged in is more fun for me to play.
There are many skills I would like to work on in basketball, mainly being more confident with dribbling up to the hoop against a number of defenders, as teammates are often not available when the ball is passed to the other team’s side of the court. I also want to get better at knowing who to defend to create the most ideal scenario for my team to score.
