THROWBALL - my favourite sport

Introduction

The first time I played throwball, I didn’t think it would become such an important part of my life. It started as just another game in school, but slowly, it turned into something I truly love. Throwball is not just about catching and throwing a ball—it’s about energy, teamwork, and unforgettable memories.

How I Fell in Love with Throwball

At the beginning, I didn’t even know the rules properly. I used to miss catches and feel nervous during matches. But as I kept playing, I started enjoying every moment on the court. The excitement of catching the ball and throwing it perfectly over the net gave me a different kind of happiness.

What Makes Throwball Special

Throwball is simple, yet so exciting. Unlike other sports, it doesn’t take much time to learn. But once you start playing, you realize how much focus and teamwork it requires.

The best part is the connection between teammates. Every catch, every throw, and every point depends on trust and coordination.

My Memorable Moments

I still remember one match where our team was about to lose. We were all nervous, but we didn’t give up. In the final moments, we played with full energy and managed to win. That victory was not just about points, it was about teamwork and belief.

There were also times when I dropped easy catches and felt disappointed. But those moments taught me to stay strong and improve. But there is one unforgettable moments where i won't forget throughout my life, it is last my last match in my school. We didn't even have enough practice at all before going to match, we literally practiced for 3 days before going to match and then we all had confidence that we would make it out. Even our coach believed us because of our playing skill, we were all playing since 4th std. 

And that legacy was continuing till end of my school life. For past 2 years(2022 and 2023) my friend was receiving the outstanding player award and it was feeling good when she was receiving that award because we were the winners at the same one of my friend also received outstanding player award. In the year of 2024, which is the last match for all of us. We were all feeling like little bit sad because after that we won't be having like those types of matches. When we step onto the court for our match, it felt little bit nervous due to lack of practice. At that time, we were in 12th so teachers were focusing on academics and they made us to focus more in academics than sports. During our match day, we came to know that first match was between SCS and AVP. 

We literally felt nervous amd we couldn't play well, none of them played well and don't know why. So Frist set was won by them and second set we were leading and we won, third set it was equal in score and when i had my chance to put service,my coach were literally shouting at me because he got tensed of seeing us playing. Then i was like,  we need to win this game whatever happens! Then i started to threw continuously and they left all my balls, after seeing that my coach started to support me to take lead. I threw for 8 times and at that time we were in lead. Finally, we were playing good and smooth, at last we won the first match. We played 4 matches and we were in lead, finally we were the winners. This was the emotional moment for all of us!.

 We were the champions our school because we continuously won in 3 tournaments. We didn't even had failure moment when we all step into the throwball sport. At the moment of receiving the prize in last tournament, my coach surprised me. I got the outstanding player award. I never ever have got this award before. That was the first time i received the outstanding player award in sports. This is one of my most favourite and forgettable moment in my life. 

Challenges I Faced

Learning throwball was not easy for me:

I struggled with catching fast throws.

I used to panic during matches.

My throws were not strong in the beginning.

But with practice and support from my teammates, I slowly improved.

The rules of throwball were confusing me a lot while playing.

What Throwball Taught Me

Throwball has taught me many important life lessons:

Teamwork – Winning is impossible without supporting each other

Confidence – Believing in myself during tough moments

Discipline – Practicing regularly to improve

Handling failure – Losing is also part of the game

Why I Love Playing Throwball

Whenever I step onto the court, I forget all my stress. It makes me feel active, happy, and confident. It is not just a sport, it is a way to refresh my mind and body.
