By Khasir, Chester Charter Scholars Academy Healthy Highlights | I play football and basketball with my friends during recess and sometimes on the weekends. I play football because when I was growing up, I saw my brother playing. I started playing basketball because I saw my sister play at CCSA. At first I didn’t want to, but it grew on me, and I started liking it when I was around like 8 or 9. Football and basketball are good for me because they keep me active and moving throughout the winter and the summer.
