Mark Mini Ball

Mini ball Last year I played mini ball on Thursdays after school. Mini ball is fun to play and is like basketball. You play miniball in the winter at the Civic Centre in Greymouth. There are 5 players plus reserves. Karen was our coach and she subbed us. Summer is much better because it is hotter and you push yourself harder. Dribble, dribble, dribble! Declyn and I are dribbling up the court to get a goal. Swish! In goes the ball. Declyn and I are running back with our arms in the air. We are ready for the other team to run. Jump! Matthew leaps into the air and gets the ball. Now he is running to get goal. “Good work”, I say to Matthew. YES! We’re 2 nil up. But the other team comes back hard. Oh no! Suddenly it is 5 all! The crowd is going wild whistling and shouting out “YES YES YES”. Our team is getting really tired but I push myself hard to be the fastest person in the world. Suddenly the other team is running straight at me! I am the only kid who can stop her. I steal the ball. I run straight up to the goal. I know the girls will take the ball off me. So I pass the ball to Matt and he shoots for the goal. He misses the goal but it bounces straight into my hands. So I shoot… GOAL! I run back to halfway and high five my team. My first goal! I have never been so excited in my life. 2 minutes later… Ding ding, it's the end of the game. 7-5 -- we win! We high five each other and say “Good game”to the other team and shake hands. All our parents cheer as we walk proudly off the court. The end. By mark
