Basketball as an Afternoon Fun

Basketball is such a popular sport. This is evidenced by the presence of basketball courts (big and small) in every place. The male community, young and old, love to play it, my sons included.

Except on a rainy afternoon, Raymund and Ralph make it a point to play basketball, always donned in their rubber shoes. They spend more or less an hour in the half court (in our backyard) made for them by their Dad. If my husband and I are present, he would play coach to them while I play the water girl. When the game is over, I play the waitress serving them their afternoon snacks.

This is my kids' form of exercise. My husband encourage them to do it regularly. Actually there is no pushing them as they have already fallen in love with the sport. They also have their personal NBA favorites in the person of Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Derek Fischer to name a few.

Raymund plans to be a varsity player this school year. He had been planning to join ever since but was unable push through. I am sure this would be a fun alternative to his hectic academic schedule.
