You konw,basketball is my favorite sports.
Recetly,I was thinking about the differences between American and Chinese basketball training. When I was in China, I love basketball most. If I have some free time, I would spend the time on playing basketball. Now , I am in America, and I have played with local people for several times. I find that playing basketball here is very different from playing basketball in China. I want share my own opinion about different basketball trainings with you. Training system is very important for basketball education. In China, there are limited space for people playing basketball, so children always can’t get some space for playing basketball. Then, most primary schools and middle schools are afraid of playing basketball maybe hurt children’s body, so they should be in charge of cost. Most schools decided to keep children from these ‘dangerous’ sports so that many children start to play basketball from high school. Moreover, basketball training is a very official system, so only few people can accept basketball training. Basketball teams usually find some children who are taller and stronger than common children or can run faster or jump higher, so most children never get a chance to accept official training. I think most people which like playing basketball just like me start to play basketball when they are in high school, and most of them learn how to play basketball from their elders, friends or classmates without official coach. Because of limited space for playing basketball, there are usually 12 people taking turns to have a basketball game in half of one court. That’s why the first time I played basketball with American I was kind of sick.
At the same time, a child around 4, 5 years old who is in United States begins to have sports league which are supported by their parents. Until they are 10 years old, the basketball league will be gradually increased. In this period, most of them can play basketball, and people always develop these children’s interest and basic skills. When they are around 14-year-old, they begin to accept strength training. You can always see adolescents around this age working out in gym during their holidays. Until they come into high school, they start to join school’s basketball team, and they’ll get official training by their coach. Most of them would take 3 matches a week which can help them to improve basketball skills a lot. I want to say that these American children are very lucky to have such a convenient environment to play basketball.
In conclusion, with interest-based, every child which lives in America has equal opportunities to receive training. Without sports school, people can have cultural studies when they are receiving physical training, so they would not tire of basketball early.
