\u00a0 \u00a0Basketball, a world wide sport, is being played in our school, Unis. It provides sports opportunities for girls and boys. \u00a0For example, the girls basketball team. The girls basketball team is a great team, which gives opportunities for girls who are good at basketball. However there\u2019s a problem. They\u2019re not doing too well. It\u2019s causing them to lose to most of the the other schools, which is embarrassing to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jana Ghoul, #24 on the girls basketball team states that, \u201cIf we work with each other and communicate as a team and depend on each other, we would be more successful\u201d. There are 7 basketball teams in the district, including us. They all have girl basketball teams. So far we have played OL Smith, Woodworth, Bryant, and Lowery. Our team lost 3 games out of 4 and only won once. During the times they lost, the team felt embarrassed which affected our school because now if teams play us, they might feel like they are going to win because of our previous games.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0What the other schools might think is not true, the girls basketball are a great team. All they need is good communication. Nour Bazzi, one of their fans who watches their games says, \u201cI think it\u2019s just the girls being able to stick as one and help each other out.\u201d One of the problems could be that some of the girls might not follow the position or plays the coach, Ms. Lancaster, assigns. She gives each player a position in the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0One of the players, Douaa Daher, states that, \u201cShe gives us plays and we do follow it, but if only the girls could adjust. If their position fails we would do better.\u201d\u00a0That could be true. For example you\u2019re in a game playing and you were supposed to get the ball from your teammate, but you got blocked, you would switch places. Other girls would stay there and when the teammate passes the ball, the other team takes it and scores.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0One of the solutions they are working on is every time they lose, it\u2019s a bad and a good thing. It could embarrass them, but it could also make them more competitive. In the future, our school hopes the girls basketball team do well in the games, and our school will then be supported by watching their games and cheering them on to help them feel\u00a0stronger and more competitive.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
