(QBĐT) - As a sport that brings many benefits, helping to train discipline, increase concentration, develop muscles, improve height... basketball is increasingly attracting young people in the province to practice. Many basketball clubs have been established, many basketball tournaments have taken place... creating useful playgrounds, contributing to the development of sports in schools.
Spread the passion
Every day, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Cam Sport Quang Binh Basketball Center (Nguyen Huu Hao Street, Quang Phu Commune, Dong Hoi City), the atmosphere of basketball practice is very exciting. In the gym, a group of about 20 students divided into two teams take turns performing basic movements at the two basketball poles. Although they have just started practicing, Nguyen Tran Thao Chi (a 4th grade female student in Quang Phu Commune) performs the dribbling, coordination, and basket quite skillfully. Thao Chi shared that she has only been practicing basketball for nearly 3 months now. Playing basketball helps her move quickly, improves her confidence, and can increase her height, so her parents strongly encourage her to practice this sport.
With the aim of creating a playground for young people (school age) who love basketball, over the past 6 years, Cam Sport Quang Binh Basketball Center has guided and nurtured many classes of basketball talent. On average, every year, the center receives more than 100 students of different ages to participate in training.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoang - the center's coach - said: "This is a highly team sport, so players must have good observation, agility and physical strength. With its competitive nature, requiring skillful techniques and tactics, in addition to training players in discipline and teamwork, basketball also helps players develop height and a harmonious body shape, promoting dexterity, agility and strength. Therefore, to ensure basketball skills for children, in the course, we will specifically guide each skill, such as: Passing techniques, shooting, dribbling over obstacles and other skills. During the summer, the center opens many training facilities at secondary schools: Dong Hai, No. 1 Bac Ly, Dong Phu...".
From such benefits, up to now, the basketball practice movement has increasingly spread widely in the province with many clubs established and maintained regular activities. Specifically, such as: Wizards Basketball Club was established in May 2019, operating at Phan Dinh Phung High School; Traps Basketball Club was established in July 2018, operating at Nam Ly Secondary School No. 2; Vipers Basketball Club of Vo Nguyen Giap High School for the Gifted was established in September 2015.
The clubs all maintain a membership of about 30-50 people, mainly between the ages of 15-18... In addition to the clubs established in schools, there are currently dozens of basketball teams and groups that practice regularly, such as: Wolves 1 Basketball Team, Team Vipers, Team Storm...
Encourage exercise movement
Along with teaching basketball for the past 6 years, the Provincial Children's House has gradually invested in building facilities to serve basketball teaching. Recently, the Provincial Children's House opened a basketball court that meets the prescribed standards.
Coming here on a weekend morning in early October, we felt the atmosphere of basketball practice taking place in a lively atmosphere with dribbling, blocking, stealing, and accurate shooting. Le Xuan Anh (11th grade student, Phan Dinh Phung High School) said: "On weekends, we invite each other to come here to practice basketball to improve our health, satisfy our passion, and relieve stress after school days...".
Talking about the basketball training movement in schools, teacher Le Ngoc Duc, Physical Education teacher, Phan Dinh Phung High School, said that in the past 5 years, the basketball training movement of students at Phan Dinh Phung High School has developed strongly. In particular, since the 2022-2023 school year, the school has included basketball in the main curriculum of Physical Education to contribute to the development of the strength of school sports.
In order to create a practical playground for students, the school invested in building facilities and organizing school basketball tournaments. In December 2023, the school's Youth Union organized the first open basketball tournament with many participating teams, creating an exciting school sports festival.
According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoang, with the goal of spreading and encouraging the basketball movement, every year, Cam Sport Quang Binh Basketball Center coordinates to organize basketball tournaments in the form of socialization. Specifically, in September 2024, the center organized the 6th Camsport 3x3 basketball tournament with the participation of 34 teams, more than 140 players competing in 5 age categories; before that, in July, the center coordinated to organize the Summer Cup 2024 tournament with 3 categories: rank 5x5; 3x3 rank u11; 3x3 rank 15...
Through tournaments, the center selects outstanding players to form teams to participate in regional and national basketball tournaments. For example, in October 2020, Camsport Quang Binh basketball team won third place when participating in the Quang Ngai Provincial Basketball Clubs Open Tournament; in 2022, the team participated in the National 5x5 U18 Youth Basketball Championship held in Da Nang City; in 2023, the team continued to compete and ranked 7th nationwide...
To create a playground for young people, at the end of August, the Provincial Children's House organized the first 5x5 basketball tournament for youth in 2024. The tournament attracted the participation of nearly 100 athletes from 6 basketball clubs in the province, including: U23 Quang Binh, Dong Hoi Hustle, Vipers (group A); Storms, Chillies, Nemo (group B).
Director of the Provincial Children's House Ha Thi Binh shared: "Over the years, the unit has made efforts in guiding and training basketball, attracting a large number of young people to participate. The first 5x5 basketball tournament for young people in 2024 contributes to developing the basketball training and competition movement for young people in the province; at the same time, creating a healthy and useful playground to enrich spiritual life, improve physical strength and promote the sports movement for students in localities in the province".
The project "Developing school basketball to 2030" jointly implemented by the Ministry of Education and Training, the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, the Vietnam Olympic Committee, the Vietnam Basketball Federation (VBF), the Central Committee of the Vietnam Student Association and the Central Council of the Young Pioneers has developed the scale and quality of basketball training, meeting the needs of young people, contributing to improving physical strength, developing stature, training will, skills, discipline and team spirit for students. |
