Ball game

used to play in an Inter City baseball league in Coudersport. I was 11 years old when I first started pitching. My coach had called me over from practicing defending ground balls to try out for pitching. He said I had made a great first impression and that I would definitely be starting many games for our team. Finally, my first game on the mound came along. I came in at the 4th inning as a relief pitcher. I had struck out the first two batters, and the third batter came up to the plate. I had a…

Soccer is the sport of the world because it brings people together, you only need a ball to play, and it gets more views than any other sport nation wide.

beach town in Florida called Rosemary Beach. The second tradition was a game that we created ourselves. It was called kickball-baseball. It was basically baseball. However, we only played 2-on-2, so we had to have a better way of getting outs, we incorporated the kickball rule that a fielder could throw the ball at the offensive player to get an out. The game always took place around sunset on the beach. The traditional game was underway and nearing the end when we noticed a couple of kids…

fortunate to live near a public park where we meet together for a lovely soccer game. It is also an opportunity to expand my horizons meeting new people. Soccer is a game with many rules to establish a playable environment. Disobeying them can lead to ramifications and often lead long discussions. In soccer a corner also called a corner kick is awarded to the attacking team anytime a player form the defending team causes the ball to get of play throughout the goal line. A player took the…

The whistle blew to start the second game of the new season. After a win that morning, we were eager to begin playing again. Already sweating, I touched the soccer ball to my teammate and we began the fight for another win. After a rather uneventful first half, the fluorescent ball had yet to find the back of the net. Neither team had taken control of the game and it seemed like it might stay that way. As the game droned on, the sun descended in the sky, and my legs strained more with each…

the game of basketball, even when I score in the other team’s basket. In my defense, I was only six years old and it was my first time being on a basketball team. Me and my older brother Houston were on the same team, and at the time we were losing by seven or eight points and there was hardly any time left in the game, maybe a second or two. I was always the smallest kid on the court so I played point guard, which meant that I was the one that would receive the inbound pass to bring the ball up…

had the first soccer game of the season. The air was cool with crisp morning dew across the grass. We were going against the C.S.L Stingrays (Chesapeake Soccer League). It was different now, instead of 7 players on the field it was 11 players, instead of a smaller field it was bigger, along with the field, the goals were also larger. With this much people and this big of a field, you couldn’t dribble a ball all the way down and score. This is what I didn’t know. The game had started and the…

The Last Game “C’mon Blue!” “Get your head in the game!”, a parent hollered from the stands. My mind was muddled from the heat, giving me the cognitive ability of a three year old. It wasn’t the first time I had heard criticism during the game, but I was hoping it would be the last. I vowed to myself that if I managed to make it through the game alive, I would never umpire again. “I’ll give you five dollars if you umpire the plate for the second game,” I said to Nate. He looked back at me…
