SAISA Boys' Basketball 2011

On Friday afterschool(8th Oct, 2010), we had the last practice before the first and the final cut for the team to travel to Chennai to participate in the SAISA tournament. It was pretty tough since it was the last practice before the cut.

I was chosen for the team; the coach didn't know I could not travel that he put me in the team. It was really sad that I can't travel, but I had to tell him that I'm not travelling and so cannot be in the team. He was indeed surprised and seemed a little frustrated. But soon he said if that's the case, it'd be better for younger players to practice and so get better. And so put someone else in the team.

I regretted a little that I didn't try out for the team last year. I was afraid sinc IB just started last year, and now I'm still afraid because it's the last year of IB. I couldn't be the risk taker this time.

But instead, I promised the coach to come and practice with the team every saturday like I have planned before. Every Saturday, many of Korean players from the Korean Church Basketball team where I play for fun as well come to play at OSC. So, to get more practice for OSC team, I will help organise more games with the Koreans and play with them. Hopefully this will work fairly well.


On Saturday (9th Oct, 2010) I had to sit for SAT exam from 7:00 AM through 1:00PM while the practice still took place between 10:30-12:30. So I couldn't come for this Saturday, but I will definitely come for next week!
