The Y7 and Y8 basketball teams started their season last night in the Junior NBA.
It is the first time the school has entered this exciting competition. Each year group has been given a professional NBA team to represent. The Y7’s are representatives of the Toronto Raptors and the Y8 team have been drafted the Miami Heat. Every pupil playing, is given a free jersey and shorts courtesy of the Junior NBA.
Basketball is an up-and-coming sport at our school and both teams came up against some very experienced teams. Each pupils demonstrated excellent resilience and passion, displaying great skill.
The PE department are hoping to engage more pupils to play Basketball in our after school club on a Thursday. The club will be providing a trip to watch the BLL Cup Finals in January and is also setting up links with local clubs.
