JNV URDIGERE BASKETBALL CAMP

15 of us travelled to JNV, Urdigere. Very quickly we settled down and the large number of students of 7th and 8th were given the basic dribbling skill lessons. In no time, most of them were able to control the movement of the ball. The sumpoornites from St. Mary School then showed them a demo game. AFTER THAT every one wanted to play matches.

Matches always bring about tension because beginners donot know the `playing' methods. All they want is to snatch the ball and `run' towards the ring to put the basket. After many many attempts when one of the basket ball finally enters the ring - there is a huge applause. Days two and three were full of excitement - matches - learning skills. The lush green forests of urdigere are an awesome sight.

I played in my pyjama kurta [accidentally!] but the shooting skills were still there. Magic comes naturally when you are a `freak'.
