inspired by basketball
BY ELIZA DEL CID and CAMILA MATEO
Have you ever thought what inspired people to play basketball? Basketball is a wonderful sport and well known sport and we wondered what inspired people to play, so we talked to Daisy Del Cid and Eddie Mateo. There is a lot of ways that people got inspired to play basketball.
The game of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts by a Canadian. His name was James Naismith in the YMCA. The first Basketball Hoops were actually just peach baskets and the first backboards were made of wire. The backboard was added because the audience who watched the game from the balcony used to interfere in the game by handling the ball. Basketball did not become an Olympic sport unil 1936 Summer games in Berlin, Germany. The basketball hoop is kept at a height of 10 ft.
First, we interviewed Daisy Del Cid. Daisy Del Cid plays shooter at Hawthorne High School. She played 5 times a week. She said,”It’s a fun competitive game and I wanted to try it.” Daisy also said, “My family members really inspired me.” So her family members are the one who inspired her.
Next, we interviewed Eddie Mateo. He plays basketball at least four times a week. He goes to Santa Monica College and plays at a league at the park with my brother. Eddie plays point guard. He said, “When I watched it, it caught my attention.” He then said, “Once I started to play it began to become addicting’."
Basketball is a well known sport. There is a lot of was that people can get or got inspired to play basketball. We learned that there are many ways to inspire people to play basketball. Out of those two interviews we learned many things about the other people and how they got inspired in different ways.

OUR BASEBALL FAMILY
BY NATALIE MEDRANO and PRISCILLA ROSAS
Do you and your family like to play baseball? Baseball began in 1839. Baseball is a good way to stay active. We are talking about how our fathers began to play baseball.
This is the history of baseball we researched. According to our research, Abner Doubleday invented the game baseball. Also the largest baseball field in the world belongs to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This is what we learned after Natalie interviewed Alex Medrano. Alex started to play when he was 12 or 13 years old. He started to play because it was easy for him. He played 2nd base and outfield. He told us that when he was stressed at home, he would grab his bat and a baseball and walk to Lennox Park. He would throw the ball up and try to hit it as hard and as far as he can.
This is what we learned after Priscilla interviewed her father, Julio Rosas. Julio started to play baseball when he was 4 years old. He was inspired to play by his family because they played too. He played 2nd base and outfield. Julio eventually had a motorcycle accident which destroyed his ribs and broke his jaw and had to get surgery. And it ended his love of baseball.
In this article, we have discussed how are fathers were inspired to play baseball. We learned that Abner Doubleday invented baseball. Our fathers both played 2nd base and outfield. Also that our fathers have the same interest in baseball. After all of our research we realized that baseball was how we met and a very fun sport to play with your family.

HOCKEY IS COOL
BY DARRIS THOMAS
I am typing about Hockey in schools because I think Hockey is such a fun creative sport. My article is about my interview quotes and why I like hockey.
There are many interesting facts about the history of Hockey.
The 1956 Montreal Canadiens team featuredized 12 future halls or famers. Prior to the 1927-28 season. Forward passes were not allowed in Hockey. The standard North American Ice rink is over 200 feet long and 85 feet wide.
Hockey players use different types of gear.
The gears they used in Hockey were Elbow pads: they protect the elbows, as well as a bit of the forearm and triceps. The elbow pads are mainly for protection when the person falls, and also from slashes and hooks from other players. Hockey stick: a hockey stick is another very important piece of equipment. A stick should be properly fitted with the right length, flex, and handedness. Hockey socks: these go over the shin pads and then attach the jock either via the new style velcro or the old style garter belt.
Lennox Middle School once had its own Hockey team.
Their warm ups were to stretch then skate at half speed then puck handling drills. Some students had to purchase their items but most of the items were purchased by the coach.
My article is about what hockey was back then and learn more about LMS Hockey team. I’ve learned that in LMS hockey team's coach purchased most of their gear and students had to buy the skates, and hockey pucks are frozen to prevent them from bouncing during play. The 1956 montreal Canadiens team featured 12 future Hall of Famers. Finally, goalies cannot carry or even touch the puck on the opposite side of the centre line.

What are the secrets to learn a new gymnastics trick? Gymnastics is a competitive sport that has existed for more than 2,000 years. It takes years to learn gymnastics, so how do gymnast learn new stunts?
In order to do gymnastics, you need to have the following things. You have to have some flexibility so you won't hurt yourself if you do a trick that involves flexibility. You will also need balance so you won’t fall, strength because in some tricks you have to be upside down and you have to be able to carry yourself. You have to be focused on what you want to accomplish, it’s okay to be scared, but don’t let that stop you and don’t give up. You also have have to have some patience, you may not be able to do it in a day or in a month, but you will be able to do it with patience.
I have a few tips to learn something new. The first one I have is practice on something soft like a gymnastics mat, yoga mat, or even your bed. Just don’t fall off of it. If you are a beginner don’t try something so advanced, try something easy first and then work yourself up to that. If you don’t you might get injured. The last tip I have is sometimes you can’t learn something new on your own, you may need some help and you should always have someone by you especially if you are still learning.
Now that I have told you what you need to do gymnastics and some ways gymnast learn something new, I will now tell you some basic skills. A few are a handstand, this one involves some arm strength. Another is a cartwheel and a round off. A round off is similar to a cartwheel, but is a little different. The last basic gymnastics skill to know is the bridge, which involves a little back flexibility, arm strength, and some leg strength all at once. Now you have all the secrets to be a gymnast.
