I love playing basketball. I try to play a couple of times each week. Usually it is 3 on 3 over lunch. It is great exercise and helps build community.
This week I played twice in one day. I played over lunch on Tuesday and then again at the open gym on Tuesday night. This was the first time I came out on a Tuesday night to play.
I was surprised by how many guys came to play. We started with 20 at 6:00 and by 6:30 we had around 50. I was on a good team and we only lost one game. I even scored a couple of times.
I was reminded that I am getting older, because most of the guys were much younger, faster, quicker etc. By the end of the night I was cramping up a little and had to call it quits.
Many of the guys playing do not come to NewPointe , which is very cool. I didn’t know any of the guys on my team, but we had a blast. I am excited to see we are reaching these guys through basketball. This is a great first step in reaching guys interested in basketball.
I want to thank Dave McRobie and Jason Fabynick for leading this sports ministry. Way to go!
