NYPS Basketball June Camp 2013 - Day 2

We started the second day of camp with a quick morning stretch and workout before heading to the nearby Bukit Timah Food Centre for breakfast. Each team was allocated an amount of money for breakfast and team captains had to help plan and order meals for their younger team mates. It was good to see the older boys and girls working together to serve their younger peers. The teams were happy to enjoy their breakfast of fishball noodles, chee cheong fun and fried bee hoon.

We walked back to school after breakfast. Fortunately for us, Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals was being played in the United States. This was a tight series featuring the Miami Heat against the Indiana Pacers. The team that wins this final game 7 of the series would proceed on the NBA Finals to compete against the San Antonio Spurs. Thanks to a parent, we were able to stream the NBA Finals live for the basketballers to enjoy. Coach Ong was even sporting enough to join us in the morning to analyse the game for the pupils. He explained the different playing styles of the 2 teams and the basketball plays to watch for.



The game was a resounding victory for the Miami Heat and they would even go on to win the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. After watching the game, the students had a simple lunch before preparing to host Choa Chu Kang Primary for a friendly match. Choa Chu Kang Primary had graciously accepted our invitation to come down for a friendly game.

Our parent volunteers, Khim and Regina, helping to wrap prizes and souvenirs for the players of both schools.  

The boys and girls from Nanyang Primary and Choa Chu Kang Primary. A few of them had also won basketballs kindly sponsored by the Nanyang parent volunteers. 

After the friendly games, the campers then showered and cleaned themselves up to prepare for the barbecue night. Food and Drinks were all kindly sponsored by our parent volunteers. Thank you parents!

Each team was allocated a barbecue pit along with food trays and tongs. 


Along with the uncooked food, many parents also prepared cooked beehoon, fishballs and other delights for the party.


 The pupils had lots of fun in the barbecue!



 Parents were reminded not to help in cooking and to let their children serve them!

 The Nanyang Basketball Family grows bigger and stronger!
