BASKETBALL CAMP AT JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, DODDABALLAPUR

SUMPOORNA BASKETBALL CAMP AT JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, DODDABALLPUR will be held on 14th Feb and 15th Feb, 2009. The juggernaut to promote basketball is rolling! More than one hundred children will become hoop-maniacs adding themselves into the rolls of thousands of SUMPOORNITES.



Mr. Hosamani from JNV, Yenigadale tells us that these days all his school children want to play only basketball. This rings a bell in my memory - Mrs. Hamsa Vithani of Vidya Niketan School, Kempapura, Hebbal saying those prophetic words `All parents are blaming that the VNS is promoting only basketball - this, when only two years back hardly anybody played basketball.' This was almost ten years ago.



SUMPOORNA WILL GO ANYWHERE - WHERE EVER THE CALL COMES FROM - TO PROMOTE THE GAME OF BASKETBALL!

THE TWELVE SUMPOORNITES AT YENIGADALE

When Mohammad brought these eleven `small sized' players on the morning of 1st Jan, 2009 to Bangalore I wondered if I was doing the right thing. Individually, I have trained a crowd of more than 500 with about 60 balls - but that was only for one day and the lessons dealt with dribbling only. Here, we had to create basketball players in less than three days.

These fellows hardly settled in the Scorpio before they started singing their favorite songs and a couple of mine too. In no time, I felt cocooned in their warmth and from then on it was a breeze. The people who trusted me with their young wards - I cannot thank them enough.

Who were these pioneers in arms with me - BHAVANA, ANUSHA, AJITA, MADHUSHRI, PRASHANTH, MICHAEL, MADHU, ANIL, JEEVAN, LOHIT, RAKSHIT AND from bangalore SUHAS.

BASKETBALL MANIA AT JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, YENIGADALE

Twelve of us from Sumpoorna landed in Yenigadale at 10a.m. Within half an hour we were on the basketball court [they have two courts] with around 80 children willing to learn THE GAME.

A demo game by sumpoornites raised the normal thought in every new student - I CAN DO BETTER. Of course, when they were given their first dribbling lessons, they realised that what seemed so simple wasn't so. First day it was a combination of dribbling and passing lessons and then it happened - THEY WANTED TO PLAY A MATCH!

What is it about basketball matches that makes ROOKIES think they can fly like Michael Jordan - I wonder! Arms flinging in all directions, all the nine players trying to snatch the ball from the `one in possession' [irrespective of which team he or she is]. I have seen this hundreds of times and wonder what `motivates' them to GO FOR THE BALL.

The second day was an `action' packed day with variables in dribbling and passing. Late in the afternoon when LAY-UPS elementary lessons became a little boring - the chant of `matches - matches' reached my ears. SUMPOORNITES who eat, drink and sleep basketball too joined in. What could I then do.

MATCHES CREATE THAT RAPID LEARNING WHICH ONE CANNOT GET EVEN IN ONE YEAR OF BASKETBALL COACHING. Evening session began with inter-house boys' and girls' matches. The will to win for the house created more excitement. Fouls were rewarded with minus points and that calmed the things a little bit. If two fouls were committed for one basket scored by the same team - the score was ZERO.

The third day - the match veterans that our new basketball players had become saw the toughest battles. TRAVELLING violation became lesser and lesser - PASSING BECAME THE KEY - and one long distance shot that went through the hoop brought the house down. A basketball player with the ball is always two feet taller than his normal height - his gait at least suggests it.

Then, before we knew it, it was time to say GOOD BYE. The sumpoornites were mobbed with shake-hands, high fives, pats on the back and little sorrow that BYE BYE brings with it.

POSTPONEMENT OF SUMPOORNA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

The SUMPOORNA basketball tournament stands postponed to 31st Jan, 2009 and 1st Feb, 2009 due to many schools having unit tests and exams.
