Jump Jump!

Bliss. Back to the days of high flying basketball.

After a good 3 years, I stepped onto the court. AB, AR along with a few juniors were there. I'd never played with anyone from SIMSR so it was a clean slate for me. Seems AR had been frequenting the spot with his classmates now and then.

We played a lot. We played in the hot sun. The heat took its toll but we gave it a good try. Most of us had resumed playing after a while, so getting used to the rhythm of things and tackling the sun's hard hitting rays was quite a task. I failed miserably with my layups today. I think I got in some after attempting 8 or 9. But my shots from the 3 point range were good.. overall. After randomnly sorted out teams, we began a game that saw some rusty moves and stiff follow-throughs at the start. Soon, everyone found their frequencies and the game got a wee bit faster and tougher to keep up with. Within the next half hour, we were quite pooped. Took a 10min break which ended up being a 20min luxury before we started the latter part of our practice.

All in all, I had a good game today. Hopefully, we'll see more players at the court over the next few weeks.
