By now, you should have know who has made it into the 2010 team list. I have shared with the C girls after we have announced the team list. Will now repeat what I have to say to you guys.
It is normal to be disappointed after knowing the results. So what is next after the announcement? Of cos, you need to improve yourself and continue to work hard so that you can make it into the team next year. Basketball is a competitive sport (not only basketball, but also for other sports like hockey and soccer), thus we can only select the best to represent the team. How do we select the 12 players?
1) skills
2) attitude
3) commitment
Some of you might have doubts on why you were not selected despite turning up for CCA regularly and having made improvements. From my own personal view ( can check with the other basketball teachers as well), there are many of you fighting for the same position. Thus besides looking at physical advantage, we also compare the skills that is needed for that particular position. But what if im fast, i can shoot but still not selected? We have to look at your game play also, some of you can do well in drills, but cannot perform under pressure in games. You cant get the ball in the game, and you stand in the wrong position in the game.
There are many other factors...cant list them all. But whatever it is, continue to motivate one another, most importantly TRY YOUR BEST AND DONT REGRET!
After the compeition season, the non school team players will be playing a sengkang league (form your own groups of 5) amongst ourselves to pit your skills against one another. Please start to form your own groups of fives and start building that team spirit.!!!! more things to come! keep reading!
p/s: MARCH HOLS IS COMING! WEEEEE!!
