A MATCH TEACHES WHAT A YEAR LONG TRAINING PROGRAMME CANNOT! But young players get traumatised too! Or they get head weight - that they know enough already. Both the situations aren't right. It is important that any learning programme should provide opportunity to learn as well as the right court behaviour - for then only it would have a meaning. Sitting on bench as team - yet not getting the `time' to play; isn't also suitable for young children.
SUMPOORNA annual basketball league addresses these concerns. FORTY BOYS AND FORTY GIRLS will be formed into 8 teams each - they may be `school teams' or they may be a `friendly group'. Each player would pay an annual registration fee which would take care of the `uniform' - `track suit' and other administrative expenses. Different basketball courts would be used at different locations. Convenience of the players would be top priority - the playing environment would be `child friendly'. For any player wanting to register the following THREE are important:
1. Total parental support.
2. Personal desire to `learn and play'
3. Impeccable behaviour.
Registration forms would be available from our office as per address given below. You may also call me up for any clarifications. Up to TWO PLAYERS per team maybe registered as stand by students. Training programmes would be organized as and when feasible. We will also invite `basketball dignataries' and `club officials' to pick up children for playing `official tournaments of basketball'.
Registrations are offered on first come first served basis - but anyway the last date is 12th April, 2009. Any player born on or after 1-6-1995 is eligible. We reserve the right to de-register any player at any time without giving any reason whatsoever.
