Slam Dunk Park


Slam dunk! Two guys are playing basketball and the guy wearing black just dunked it over the guy in red. That was impressive. The soccer team is barely getting here. The kids are starting to stretch and warm up. The coach is on his phone laughing hard right now. I know because I can hear him laughing from here. He has a very oud laugh. The guys playing basketball are going at it. They both keep scoring on each other. It looks very competitive over there. The soccer coach just told the team to start running laps to warm up. It seems as if the kids really don’t enjoy running as most of them aren’t running too fast, they are basically going walking speed. The coach is just watching the kids jog slowly. He yelled at them to pick up the speed. They must have been slacking. Suddenly I heard a loud yell at the basketball court. When I turn to it I see the guy in red just yelling loudly for no reason… it doesn’t seem like he is hurt it just looks like he is yelling. I wonder why. He sure is getting a lot of attention though from everyone at the park looking at him. After he stopped yelling the two boys started playing basketball again. The soccer boys started a shooting drill. The goalie really shows his skills when they do this drill. Hardly anyone scores on him. There is a dog chasing a cat down the street a ways. The cat is desperately trying to escape but it doesn’t look so good for him. As I am looking that way I see the boy in black dunk it. They are very good basketball players from the looks of it. The soccer team started scrimmaging each other. They seem exhausted from running all the time. The sun is starting to go down. The boy in red just made a 3 while the other guy was covering him. They both get so pumped when they make a basket. It is interesting to watch them play with them being so into it. The soccer team is already leaving even though the sun is not down yet. The boys continue to play though. They are very worn out themselves as it looks now. It is beginning to get cold and dark. They are leaving now.
