St Albans Basketball Festival

On Monday, 12 children from year 6 traveled to Oaklands college to take part in the St Albans Primary Basketball Festival. The children were split into 2 mixed teams playing in different pools. Both teams competed brilliantly, winning thier opening games convincingly, with shots raining in from all over the court. All the children showed excellent attitude and effort utilising the skills that they have been practicing over the past half term.
As the competiton progressed both teams took part in come incredibly close matches winning as many as they lost, often by a single basket. Unfortunately niether team made it to the semifinals but this should not take away from the childrens achievement in the games played. I hope all the children enjoyed the competition and will take there skills forward to play more in the future. If any children would like more information about clubs locally please as Mr Brown for more information.
Thank you to Mrs Parker and Mrs Brown for providing lifts and their support on the day.
