Girls ’ Basketball
The overall performance of the teams has been better than last year , with the girls showing dedication , good attitude and great sportsmanship . This in turn buoyed the teams to greater heights with remarkable performances all round .
The basketball season started with a basketball camp ; the girls who turned up were thrilled to be taught basketball skills by experienced coaches from the Eagle Wings Ladies ’ basketball team . The coaching stretched the girls ’ skills by reinforcing body balance and ball handling drills . More rigorous training went into teamwork , both in defence and team formation . This training culminated in intense competitive matches with the coaches motivating the players and giving tips on offence and defence . Finally , the girls participated in a question and answer session in which all of their fears and doubts were allayed . It was gratifying to see their eagerness to improve their understanding of basketball . This camp was instrumental in showing the girls the right direction towards proper basketball techniques and also motivating the girls in readiness
for the season .
Many thanks go to the Eagle Wings coaches , who have always availed their time and experience over the years to coach our girls and boys .
