Basketball
IAPS’s Basketball tournament took place in a new venue in March 2020 – Sevenoaks School. The event was hosted across 2 indoor sports halls with a fantastic viewing gallery for spectators.
The U11 teams competed in the morning with the U13’s arriving at lunchtime for their afternoon competition.
Pete Daines, Yateley Manor School, said “Both our U11 and U13 Basketball teams had a great time at the IAPS Championships at Sevenoaks school. It was really well organised in a fantastic venue and the standard of competition gets better each year. The atmosphere created by the supporters on the balcony really spurred on the teams. I’m obviously a very proud teacher as Yateley Manor managed to win the double. The children put a lot of hard work into their training and improvement and it all came together on the day. I hope more schools decide to enter next year – the sport is brilliant and pupils from Prep schools should play more competitive basketball. It is the world’s second most popular sport after all!”
