My Favorite Sport
By: Rohan I.


There are many sports in this world but my favorite sport is basketball. I like this sport because it is a team sport. This game is played with a ball and 10 people on the court. There will be 5 people from each team. The object of the game is to score the ball into your opponents hoop. Each time you score inside the 3 point arch you get two points. If you score outside the 3 point arch you get three points. The positions that people play in basketball are :
1. point guard
2. small forward
3. shooting guard
4. power forward
5. center
All of these positions are really important. The point guard is the person who makes open lanes for there team mates and the main passer. The small forward position is for people who can layup and shoot from far distance. My favorite player LeBron James is a small forward. A shooting guard is the person who takes most of the layups. Next, the power forward is a player that usually shoots from close distance and gets rebounds. Last, the center is usually the tallest person on the team and gets the most rebounds. As you can see, basketball is my favorite sport what is yours and why?

My favorite sport is soccer because it isn't very complicated and it is good for your body. Other sports I've done are diving, tap dancing, and gymnastics.

My favorite sport is basketball, too!! I like it because it is really challenging trying to get the ball into the hoop. It is also fun packing people and stealing the ball, too. It is so suspenseful to watch the ball score or prepare to get the rebound. Nice post, Rohan I.!!

My favorite sport is soccer because you get to play in a team against another team. Also, you get a lot of exercise by running around the soccer field. You can make your body stronger too. It is a fun game to me and my parents like it too. It also feels better when you kick the ball in the goal.

My favorite sport is basketball, like you Rohan. My favorite team is the Lakers because the are the best team and they also work together very well. Kobe Bryant is my favorite player because he is good at taking shots and he has a very good point average, which is 26.6 (LeBron James' average is 24). I like basketball because you have to work together in order to win.

Football is my favorite sport and I am crazy about it. There are may positions in football(too many to name)but the ones I usually play are running back or receiver. When I play defence I am usually a saftey and I make many interceptions. I am great at football and that is why I love it.

My favorite sport is soccer. I like to play soccer since it is a game of strategy. I think it is fun to decide who you want to pass the ball to or if you need to shoot or keep dribbling. I also like soccer since it is a extremely good source of exercise. Playing soccer prevents me from getting fat. The last reason I like soccer is because I feel good when I score a goal or win a game.

My favorite sport is soccer because I think it is fun and exciting. I like to play all the positions including goalie. My favorite soccer player is Mia Ham. She is an awesome player! I love to practice with my sister outside. She has taught me how to drop kick and be a great goalie. Soccer is a fantastic sport.

My favorite sport is badminton since my dad and mom play it. It is my favorite sport because I get to play with my sister causes she knows how to play and have fun! Badminton is really boring if you play yourself so beware if you are a loner....never learn badminton.

My favorite game to play is volleyball.One reason - I like it is because you have to hit a ball on to a wall.The ball can bounce only once on the ground.If the ball hits the ground twice your out.That means you have to wait in line until your turn comes.Please dont get confused because there is a other type of volleyball,I know that you know this game because Ms.Mqpheeters likes to play it.So last not least I like volleyball!!!!

My favorite sport is soccer. I like it because it is fun to dribble the ball up the field and around other players so that they can not get the soccer ball. I sometimes shoot a goal to.

I like to play soccer because I just like to kick a ball around and use tactics to try and get a ball in a goal.

I'm okay with every sport, but my favorites should be volleyball, horseback riding(does that count as a sport?), and swmming. I like volleyball because it helps you concentrate. When you focus in on the ball, you know when and where to hit it. It needs alot of concentration. I like horseback riding because first of all, I LOVE horses, second, you have to keep control of the horse, third, you can seem to understand them. I like swimming becuase I like the feeling of water rushing past and around me. It makes me feel free and like a fish.

Nice Post Rohan! My favorite sport would be Soccer because I really love using my feet instead of my hands, and also like being on a team. It's really fast paced, and anyone can play. I also like it because as long as you have enough space and some ground, you can play it, even though grass would be prefferable. That is why I like Soccer.

Nice Post! My favorite sport would have to be Soccer because I love they way people use their feet instead of their hands, and there aren't really any other sports that I know of where using your hands is not allowed (except for the goalie, of course). I also like Soccer because it is very fast-paced and a very exciting game to play. Also, you can play Soccer anywhere as long as there is enough space and grass. That is why I like Soccer.

My favorite sport is also basketball. I like it because it is a team sport and because I like to play with balls. My favorite player is also Lebron James.

My favorite sport is swimming because I think it is fun to relay with people and it also helps me to become flexible. Also, when I swim I really work hard to the next level and then the next thing I know I get better and better at the sport. Another favorite sport I have is Karate. I like Karate because that makes me feel comfortable in front of big crowds because no matter how many eyes are on me I really don't care. I also like it because so many people encourage me and help me out to make me better.

My favorite sport is table tennis because both sports excercises your arms stronger, my dad knows how to play it, and it is very fun. There are two styles to hit the ball. There is the chinese way and the regular way.
