Three-on-Three Update


On September 18, in the gym at 1:30pm, students were playing a game. Coach Dustin was the referee and Coach Hernandez was choosing people that were raising their hand. A girl shot the ball and it went in. They were playing a version of the playoffs.


The playoffs are when you play against a lot of different teams. They are playing because they want to show off their basketball skills. In the end the team that loses goes back to the bench and the Coach Dustin chooses 3 more players to take on the winners.


When they choose you, you will find a position and guard someone. Then coach will look out for any fouls and blow her whistle. The fun part is that everyone gets to shoot the ball. They all battle to reach for the ball when it is in the air.


The coach set up a tournament so that the students can learn how to play basketball and so they can have fun playing basketball with each other. Coach Dustin also gives the students the right to choose their own team. Many students pick the best players in basketball. Some students pick their best friends so they can have fun. The coach was nice enough to let us use the gym to play basketball. Many coaches don’t do that. They make us play in the sun. The students who win by the end of that period get commented on how they played. The fun part is that you get to hang out with your friends.
