Me and Basketball


Hi Guys! 
I'm Rona! and I would like to welcome you all to my first ever blog entry! 
I'am from Cavite State University- Imus Women's Basketball team.


Basketball has been the most popular game in the Philippines. It can be easily played by men or women.The love of basketball of the Filipinos can be seen through all the makeshift courts on vacant lots, sandlots and neighborhood. 
The development of basketball in our country starts as early as 1898 when the American occupation of the Philippines with the first US teachers introduced basketball and baseball to the Filipinos through the YMCA and the school system . After that, a lot has happened in the sport. 

At present, there are a lot of sports league and collegiate basketball leagues in the Philippines, UAAP and NCAA (the most popular to college students) to name a few and for us in State Universities, SCUAA. It has also been aligned in educational curriculum as part of Physical Education in the country. 

The most exciting about basketball is not just playing every game. Basketball is not always about winning. More than that, basketball is a game of camaraderie and respect. This sport is actually a game to play with a team. And to most teams, their key to every winning game is always the success of the whole team rather than a single player. This sport clearly is a group sport that needs the cooperation and discipline.

Basketball clearly, has a special place in my heart ever since. and through all the games I've played with my team, I can say that the sport has a lot to do with who I am, where I am and where I will be. 

And with all of that, I would like to share you all guys the basic elements of basketball.
