My Favorite Fall Activity

There area many different activities I enjoy when I have spare time in the fall. One of my favorite fall activities is playing basketball. Basketball is also one of my favorite things to do year round. I guess you would consider basketball a winter sport, but it starts in the fall and is my favorite activity for both seasons. I started playing basketball in 1st grade and just kept on playing until this year in 7th grade. The main objective of basketball is to shoot the basketball into the hoop. You must dribble the ball up and down, and if you don’t it is called traveling. There are also many other rules that you must obey to play. There can be 5 people from each team on the court at a time. There are different positions for those players. The positions are called point guard, power forward, shooting guard, and center. When I play I normally play the position of center or power forward. Basketball is my favorite fall activity because it requires precise actions by each team member to score and play defense. I also like it because I get to spend time with my friends and family. But the main reason I enjoy basketball is because I am good at it. I enjoy playing competitive basketball between schools instead of playing in the driveway with my friends. I like competitive more because there are rules and nobody can cheat. I also like it because there is a coach telling us what to do instead of all of the kids arguing over what to do. When I play basketball I feel very determined to do my best. When I do not do my best I  feel discouraged, then I think about how I can play better the next time. Basketball is by far my favorite activity to do in the fall. It is also one of my favorite year round activities. 321 words
