My favourite sport

This term, Pt England students are learning about Olympics and my goal is to become a star at the national Netball club. So, the story I'm going to share with you is all about my favourite sport. Last term I had the opportunity to try out for my schools netball team. A few days after the trial, the players got chosen to play for the school. I was chosen to represent my school on team 2.  I was also chosen to be the team captain. I felt fantastic! Our first game was very exciting and when we got onto the court, I felt really nervous. When the beep came on to start the game, I felt really shaky.

We started to play, and as the whistle blew I ran as fast as I could to get the ball. The referee wanted me for the coin toss. The ref tossed up the coin and I chose heads and the other one chose tails. It  was heads and lucky for us, I got it so my team and I had the ball. We started as the referee blew the whistle, and I was at centre. When we played I felt nervous because I thought we were going to lose. When we lost the ball I felt upset so then I went hard to try to get  the ball from the other team and  they lost it.  I felt happy that we got the ball and then I passed it to the GS(goal shooter) and then the GS scored a goal. We won,  but it was a close game. The score was 21-19. I felt happy when we won. When we finished we had to say three cheers for the other school and then we had to  shake hands.
