Basketball in the Marshall Islands

Basketball is one of the most played sports in the Marshall Islands. Many people play it and have a lot of fun. Most of the time the sports committee make leagues for the community and everybody usually signs up for it. Whenever many of the students are on the court, they do their best to be the best player out there. Many of my friends and I love to go outside and shoot some hoops. We usually play just when the sun is about to hit the trees. At that time it’s the best time for balling because the sun is just below the horizon and the shade covers the court. Basketball is most likely the best sport in the Marshalls and many young kids love to play it. As a young kid, I hated playing basketball because I was too busy playing video games. Whenever my friends would come over, they would make plans to shoot some hoops at the court at the College of the Marshall Islands. I would always think otherwise and stay home by myself while my friends would go play some basketball.

One day I just got tired of the same old games and went to hang out with my friends. We all went to play a little basketball. When I started playing it became very fun and interesting, even though I didn’t really know the rules. I got better at it and have been playing basketball ever since. Now I play for many school leagues, community leagues, and state leagues. And it is also one of my favorite sports.
