IPSHA Basketball

In IPSHA Basketball, there were some hotly contested games, and it is great to see the teams continue to improve their teamwork, and using each other to advance the ball up the court. The 6A team had one of the games of the season against a strong Tara team, which went right down ‘to the wire’! The SCEGGS girls were behind, although never gave up. With 20 seconds left on the clock, Isabelle Lee managed to take hold of the ball and find the basket to end the game with the score ending 14-14. What a thrilling game it was and well done to the team for their ‘never-give-up’ attitude. The 6C team also had a fantastic game against Meriden and implemented good defensive tactics, such as defending the basket on a turnover and marking opposition players. The team managed a 22 to 4 win and are gong from strength to strength.

Good luck to all Year 3 and IPSHA teams for Round 4 this weekend and a reminder to all parents of the IPSHA Spectator’s Code of Conduct when watching games.

 

Spectators’ Code of Behaviour

 
  • Children play organised sports for fun. They are not playing for the entertainment of spectators only, nor are they miniature professionals.
  • Applaud good performances and efforts from each team. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.
  • Respect the officials’ decision.
  • Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition.
  • Positive comments are motivational and encourage continued effort.
  • Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.
  • Show respect for your team’s opponents. Without them there would be no game.
  • Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials’ decisions.
  • Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using foul language, harassing players, coaches or officials.
  • Comments should not interfere with the running of the game.
  • Focus on the efforts and performance of the children rather than the result
