Location: Rec Im Basketball courts
Entering the basketball court there was many people. Mostly boys a few girls, all seemed very athletic. Very loud the boys seem to get very competetive. People seem free spirited! There seem to be really no rules. Things get settled with everyones opinion. Everyone seems to get along. People seem to know each other. They make friends easily. Most dominant players seem to stay on the court the whole time. Winner stayed on the court till they lost. People pick teams at random. Everyone seemed cool with each other, other than the usual arguments and disagreements. Same players seem to stay at the court all day until it closes. A lot of yelling seems to go on but mostly in rage of the games. 5 players per team, two teams, a game of 21, points go by 1's. Some people treat the game more seriously than others. Most people seems to play to stay in shape and have something to do, Others play for competion.

Nice start, Lei-Lana! I can see you were paying attention to the players and I'll bet this is enjoyable to observe. Just from your notes here, it look like you have several places to go with this. You can think about the game itself, the group dynamics, the "winners" and "losers," etc. Do you think these people know each other from the courts or elsewhere? How do you know that? Are the rules explained or implied? Are people expected to know the rules? Who comes to play? What about these few female players? That could be really interesting research as well. Keep fleshing out your observations as you continue to really dig in here!
