Basketball for under 15's


After two weeks of school, IB students got asked to play against the under 15 team at basketball every tuesday in order to improve their basketball. So i got together a group of guys and we started playing the under 15's every tuesday from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. after playing for a few weeks with the under 15's i felt that they have improved a lot throughout the weeks. the have gotten more confident handling the ball and able to communicate better with each other. We do this until they finish the basketball Fobissea games. Fobissea is where schools from south east Asia come together to compete in swimming, athletics, basketball and football. In order for the ISB under 15's to beat the other school, they must have the maximum amount of training and also must be playing games frequently. Since i have high experience in participating in the Fobissea games for three years i have experience of what the other teams are like and how much they train. In the two years i played for ISB in the fobissea we got into second place losing over Taipei. the last year of my fobissea games we got 5th place. i was really disappointed at this because we trained so hard and our fighting spirits was so high but we failed to reach the finals. I think that the main schools that the under 15's to look out for are the Taipei European School and the Regents school of Thailand. These schools have the strongest basketball teams and train almost everyday. they also have games two times a week. i think that it is easier for them to get games because they are a bigger country and they are able to play more teams.
