My name is Khy Redd and I play sports.
These are my reasons:
Sports are good for you in a lot of ways physically. Playing sports keep your body strong. It improves your heart health, builds muscle and increases endurance. Sports help you stay in shape, build strength and keep your heart healthy.
The sport I like to play is basketball. It calms me down and it's fun to play with other friends. The basketball courts I like the best in Aliquippa are Linmar and Plan 12 courts.
