Playing basketball was my favorite hobby

Playing basketball was my favorite hobby. Until I got married, I used to play basketball. During weekdays I played with some co-workers after work. Sometimes I called my friends or neighbors to enjoy playing outside. I have played basketball since I was young. When I was in the university, I made a basketball team to participate in some competitions.
Playing basketball requires a lot of running and jumping so it helps me to get in shape. And it is good for closing a friend because it’s a team sport. These days I can’t play it regularly but I still love it.
