As I have already mentioned in my latest post from activity, I train basketball twice a week. Apart from that once in a week on Saturday I play a match with my team called Mystics. In this post I’ll focus more on that part of my sport activities. My club, Warsaw Basketball, organises small leagues for different age groups. These aren’t some kind of serious champion leagues, but there are awards to win at the end of each season. Lately they’ve created Girls League, as indicated by the name, the players are girls between 14 and 17 years old. I think such an idea is a huge move forward and personally for me it’s of great importance that I have the opportunity to play with other girls similar age. Before there were only coeducational leagues or only ones made for boys, so not as many girls played. For almost a year, while joining American League, I’ve been the only female in the team and unfortunately having to compete with boys isn’t as easy as they’re stronger and usually higher, also they often don’t pass the ball to girls. Now I’m happy being in a league that I fit in. I could be even happier if our start was better, because now Mystics are last in the ranking. Still it doesn’t mean we don’t have chance for the finals. There are only four teams in the whole league and everything may happen. Besides it isn’t only about winning, it’s also about gaining experience and developing yourself. Thats the real reason I play basketball.
