BASKETBOL BEDEN EĞİTİMİ Basketball Team and Club Girls’ Basketball I’m one of the members of the BELS boys’ basketball team and sports club. We had a lot of fun this year. During the whole year, we had practices every Wednesday. We had a full team with all grades represented. Our team received first place in the Bilkent tournament winning all of our games. We also participated to Erzurum tournament where we did our very best. The first thing we learned from our coach was being a team or in other words being a whole. We learned more and more every practice with the help of our coach. We learned the motto “Never give up”. This can be proven by our one practice when in the beginning, the electricity went out but we didn’t give up or go back home, we continued our practice and got better. Nobody can beat us in the dark. If we look back through the beginning of the year, we can say that we learned a lot of important things for both life and basketball. We are honored to be the part of that “Dream Team” as we described it. We are happy being part of that family and having a great coach. As being a member of BELS Girls’ Basketball Team, I want to state that we had an excellent season. Our team participated in two tournaments which were the local Tournament and Bilkent Schools Sport Tournament. We had great fun both in practices and tournaments. We got 3rd place in locals, but we knew that we did our best. Our team represented BELS in a fantastic way. We experienced lots of things and learned how to be real team players. “If you want to be the best, work harder than the rest; if you don’t want to be the best, work same as the rest” was our motivational quote. Our team captain Ece’s phrase was “Let’s go girls!” which encouraged us all during the tournaments. Basketball taught us that we should be unselfish and should never give up. This was a great year and a special thanks to all of the girls that participated and our coaches. THE CLAPPER 2014 - 2015 104 Burak YÖRÜK 11-B Gül GÖKTUĞ 9-A
