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.
