SOCCER
Soccer is my favourite sport. When I play especially like to be a goalkeeper. My favourite team is FC Barcelona and my favourite player is Neymar. I play for a team called Lakehill FC. I am number 4.
In soccer you alwas have 11 players on the field for each team (a total of 22). You can have a variety of different formations. Since you always have a goalkeeper, you do not count it in your formation. Formations are always sttarted at your defenders and then move forwards. Here is an example:
4-3-3:
When this is your formation, you
have 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and
3 forwards (strikers). This is my
favourite because it does not have too
many defenders or strikers. I find it
very balanced.

BASKETBALL
I also love to play and watch baketball. I play basketball for a team called Champions Academy. I am #8. My favourite team is the Cleveland Cavaliers and my favourite player is LeBron James. He is #23. To get to know my favourite players, watch the video above. When I play basketball I like to be a shooting guard or a point guard.
Players on the court
In basketball you always have 5 people on the court. Here a the positions and what there roles are:
-
Point Guard (The 1) - They usually run the team's offense and call the plays when brigning the ball up the court. They try to make sure that the ball gets to the right players at the right time.
-
Shooting Guard (The 2) - They are usually good 3-point shooters and they tend to dribble the ball very well. Most of them are good passers as well.
-
Small Forward (The 3) - They are responsible for scoring mid-range shots and they are not afraid to have contact with other players. They also have a lot of stength inside.
-
Power Porward (The 4) - They are tall and typically play with their backs to the hoop. They rebound a lot and some are very good mid-range shooters.
-
Center (The 5)- These players are normally the tallest players on the court. They are responsible for rebounding. They typically score from near the basket.

I like watching hockey, but I do not play it. My older brother pays hockey for a team called the Victoria Ice Hawks. He is a goalie and he is #30. I have watched the Vancouver Cauncks play against the San Jose Sharks.
In hockey, you always have 6 playerson the ice at once (counting the goalie). You have a center, a left wing, a right wing, a left defenceman, a right defenceman and a goalie. My favourite player is Patrick Kane. He plays for the Chicago Blackhawks. I do not have a favourite team.
