My name is Colin and I am with Hudson and we are here to talk about our basketball team. The Titans hold tryouts once per year and only 7-10 player’s get on a team per year in their grade. We have practice and skills once a week. I personally work on basketball at least an hour a day on basketball at Mercy Healthplex.
I go to the gym twice a week and I shoot outside when it is warm enough. We live in Cincinnati and we are in best league possible that we can reach. We play on a lower level in 6th grade and the highest level in 5th. We play at Anderson high school which is the high school most of us will be going to. My dad is the coach and he hates playing zone because he wants to train us to play man even if we lose games. But all he wants is to get better for high school so we can make a run for the state championship. This spring, I will get with other really good players and we will do the Midwest Circuit. But right now our fifth grade team we have 7 players and their names are Colin, Hudson, Ryan, Brennan, Aidan, Jake, and Maddux. On the team we have two left handers and five right handers. We are not the best shooting team but we are usually quicker and that’s part of the reason we play man and why we press.
Our skills trainer is Scott Barker he is an assistant on one of the 6th grade teams, and he sterches us till we get it right and he will have us do planks, push ups etc till we get it right. Our uniforms are half based of Kentucky’s uniform and half based of Anderson high schools uniforms which are black and orange. Also we have shooting shirts and Titans bags. We practice at public schools in our district, like Ayer, Summit, Mercer, Maddux, Wilson, and Sherwood. In our league we use a 28.5 ball. Some of our refs are guys from Anderson guys. For example, one of the refs is a varsity baseball coach and the other one is the basketball announcer for Anderson. Hopefully you learned some more about us and our team.
