My basketball team

I remember when, a few years ago, I talked to my school friends about how much I liked basketball, football, tennis.... but it was so difficult for Spanish girls to play any sport, at least here in my town, Lucena. I couldn’t understand why, but the majority of the girls in the town don’t usually play any sport.
Then, Lucena opened a new basketball club. It attracted a lot of young people, and the thing that I liked most was the possibility of a girls team.
I loved the idea! And my friends too. At first, only five girls arrived there, saying we wanted to create our own team.
And it was fantastic! Other people found it a bit strange, and we were known (and still we are) as “the basket girls”
Then, some new girls started to come. Some stayed and they are still with us, others couldn’t follow our schedule, because it’s true that it is a serious club, not just a team to have fun. We have to train and play matches, which are every weekend.
Now there are 10 of us, but that’s enough, in spite of the frequent injuries.
Last year, we were in a league, and we won! We learnt quite quickly, at least to win, (but it wasn’t a very strong league for very good teams, to be honest).
This year the team is a official league team, and it is harder! But we are proud, we are still learning and training hard to improve as much as possible. Maybe, next year, we’ll win again! Anyway, I love this experience and I feel lucky because I have the opportunity to play a sport that I really like!
