A group of Year 5 and 6 students recently attended a basketball engagement event at Meole Brace Secondary. The session was led by Year 9 students, giving the pupils the chance to try different skills and drills under their guidance before taking part in a friendly tournament.
During the skills portion, the groups were incredibly helpful, supporting the Year 9s by demonstrating techniques to the rest of the participants. In the tournament, they showed remarkable resilience: after losing their first game 2-0, they bounced back to win the remaining matches and progressed to the knockout stages.
Their determination continued as they reached the final, which ended in a very competitive draw. The winner was then decided by free throws, with the opposing team successfully scoring their first attempt. Throughout the session, the students displayed fantastic sportsmanship, immediately congratulating the winning team.
Well done to all involved for their effort, resilience, and teamwork – you were all brilliant!
