East Coast Hoops

Caddy Posts : 5606 Join date : 2009-12-26

hey bros (or sis)

are you a hoops fan?

The last time I laced my sneakers was probably 14 years ago... These days I'm resigned to watching the black mamba win his rings on telly. However, the doctor told me my BMI's pre-obese, so I really need to move my ass off the couch.

so I've been shooting hoops over the past couple of Sunday mornings at Victoria Junior College. They have pretty decent courts and they are empty. It gets boring shooting alone after a while, especially when the ball missed/bounces the other way and there is no one to rebound Laughing

anyone staying on east side, if you want to get some sweat and prefer ball games to running/jogging. Let's play some pick up games or at least help each other shoot balls for.

Just trying my luck, PS

is it?....oooops. My son goes there for his arsenal soccer school and I go shoot balls next to the football pitch. the security guard in front knows me by now.

Dun want to risk anyone prosecution Very Happy

It will be my sport when my joints are too weak for basketball.

Excuse me... But I think both sports are similarly strenuous... You would be better off picking up swimming or aquarobics heheheh...

Caddy Posts : 5606 Join date : 2009-12-26

aquarobics.... Laughing

maybe kebaya-robics?

no lah, i used to play both. Never twisted my ankles playing tennis even in my most flexible years. I played ah pek style tennis, not Rafael Nadal style.

bros...an update. where i stay now has a decent basketball half court. it's nearby fort road/mountbatten

so no issue with parking (free) and no issue with school security guard anymore.

anyone wanna play on weekend afternoons...lets play 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 etc.......until our knees buckle.

I am inspired by Grant Hill and Steve Nash, bought new spalding balls already.

Many Thanks.

football at tanjong rhu (futsal) or at those empty lands? I can do that

I play tennis too, but no kakis to play...no one to return the ball to me, least the back board will bounce the basket ball hahaha

i usually play at Tanjong Rhu every fortnight with my friends.

However, I don't mind if there are some people here who would be interested to play on another fixture.

Bookies not included.

Many Thanks.
