FGS South Island NZ basketball team practice makes perfect

In order to promote sports amongst Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) members, BLIA South Island NZ Deputy President Ding Lihson called together 11 Young Adult Division (YAD) members to their first basketball training of this year at Hunter Gym Burnside High School in Christchurch on 1 September. YAD member Jason Liu is there to coach the team on some basic basketball techniques. At the beginning of the session, Jason led the team in warming up exercises before instructing them on proper passing and shooting skills. After repeated practices, the team became a lot more adept at playing the game.

In order to motivate everyone further, Jason divided the public into two groups to compete, making it a lot more challenging and fun, while instilling more practical understanding of the court rules. After two hours of basketball practice, the rusty youth regained their exercise prowess and developed a better sense of teamwork. They look forward to their next training sessions that will be happening on Sunday evenings.
