Step Up Your Game to Win the Game

This is about the time I played basketball in my league that I will call "YAA" for the sake of an argument, and didn't like the referees or the rules. The Referees had no respect for me and the rules were annoying because you couldn't steal the ball from the other opponents. The next years, I've switched to a different league that were more challenging league which I'll call "CCYNA" for the sake of an argument I liked it so much more than "YAA". The new league was extremely challenging because I was eight years old playing with ten and eleven years old players. I quickly learned that I wasn't as good as I  thought I was. In order for me to complete, I had to step up my games.
