Our whole Basketball team
participated for the very first time in All India TAISI Sports competition held
at Vishwashanti Gurukul School Pune from 20th – 25th November, 2013. Our team
consisted of 8 Basketball and 2 Lawn Tennis players. We stayed at the host
school boarding campus. On the first day we played a game against the
Vishwashanti Gurukul School team. While we lost that game we all had a great
learning experience.
Our Lawn Tennis Team reached Semifinals which was
represented by Vishesh Gaur and Aninda Siddque from Pathways School Noida. The next day our teacher organized a friendly
match for us, as we had been eliminated the day before. We all played very well
in the friendly match against D.Y. Patil International School, Navi Mumbai and
after that was over we decided to enjoy Pune and go sight seeing. We went to
the mall and to Lavasa.
Overall the trip was a great learning and bonding
experience for the team; even though we had lost we gained something that was
more valuable than winning, trust as a team. Our team now knows where we stand
and how we play and I am positive that next time we play we will win without a
doubt.
