The Overseas School of Colombo has been preparing or another word, starting its SAISA Third Season of Girls' Basketball since December 2010. 8 Weeks or less of attempting to bond up and create a Basketball team. At the beginning, yes, we were pretty much a chaos. Half of the team did not know what to do, not even know how to dribble or pass a ball. The first day, Mr. Tharindu Ferenando, the new coach of the Overseas Basketball team has put up two questions for us which needs to be answer before we even begin to stat praticing, 'Why are you here? What do you wish to get out of this season?'. Many of us said, 'for fun and fitness', myself said, 'for fitness and make the SAISA team.' "You're not here to have fun, you're here to play basketball as a team, as a weapon." he replied. The whole team didn't understand it, some even quit, but most stayed.
Weeks and weeks, the team finally Developed new skills. ,Even if it wasn't so much to win the practice games with the Gateway Collage girls or the Sri Lankan National Team. But that was when we all began to see that the team was Working collaboratively with others and we were able to Considered the ethical implications of their actions.
Finally, off we left to Kathmandu, Nepal; to the Lincoln School. There were 7 teams in total. Everyteam are the same as us, they had couple of weeks to bond up the team and got ready for the competition.
I must say that this season was HARD, EXCITING, COLD, INTENSE and CRAZY. At the end I came back to Sri Lanka with 4 bruises on my body. But throughout every single games, we had really Shown perseverance and commitment in all of the games. We Planned and initiated in every single minute of the game.
As the result, the Overseas School's Girls Basketball team has came on the 3rd place.
