To show how my skills in basketball developed through the pre-season basketball last term, I tried out for the school team. I made the B team.

LO2- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

I attended every practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in order to develop my skills in basketball. I used the skills I developed in games with other schools. Practice was tough, often with a lot of stamina training, but I pushed myself to do everything the coach asked me to do. Unfortunately, we didn’t win in the league, but next year I will improve and play better.

LO5-Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively.

As basketball is a team sport, working with your teammates is very important. On our team, I knew some players but others were strangers. It took time to get used to playing with everyone as a team, but we proved to be most successful when we played together.
