On Thursday 15 January 2015, the Nanyang basketballers had the unique opportunity to attend a basketball clinic conducted by NBA Asia. The clinic was run in the cosy indoor sports hall located at HomeTeamNS Club (Balestier)
The players had a great time as Coach Chris Sumner, the manager of Basketball Operations in NBA Asia (Hong Kong), led them on a series of fun drills and games. Chris came prepared with prizes for the winners of games. Not wanting to disappoint our young players, Chris also gave out cool NBA3X wrist bands to everyone.
Dear Parents and Pupils,
Our humble apologies for not blogging in 2014. We had a very meaningful year as our Senior boys captured the West Zone Championship and subsequently came in 3rd in the Nationals.
For our CCA Members we were able to continue our weekly trainings with Coach Ong. We were also able to organise a 1-day camp in March 2014 and a 3-day camp in June 2014. During the camp we showed a documentary of Jeremy Lin, we taught the pupils to cook outdoors and we also played a telematch together. The highlight of our camp was a hike to Hort Park as well as a movie outing to Great World City where we were able to catch the made-in-Singapore movie, Meeting The Giant. Many thanks to all our Parents who contributed sponsorship in cash and kind in order to make the camp a big success.
For the Nanyang Falcons in the development and school teams, we were able to embark on an overseas trip to Malaysia. It was a wonderful trip with matches against Malaysian schools in Penang and Perak. We had a chance to visit the Sunway Lost World Theme Park as well as the Kuala Lumpur Skytrex Outdoor Adventure Park. Many of our boys were also accompanied by their parents and siblings, making it very much like a family tour together.
And so...onwards to 2015. We will not be blogging much about what has passed. But you can all look forward to what is about to happen next. As teachers, we will try to stay committed to blogging in order to keep everyone posted on what is happening in Nanyang Basketball. At the same time, with the popularity of Facebook, we would also like to launch the Nanyang Falcons FB page to share photos and other related news.
