Basketball
Overview
At Loyang View Secondary School, we believe that every basketball player is unique and has the potential to excel. Even though a player can quickly acquire the basic skills to play basketball, becoming a truly skilled player takes a lot of discipline and dedication. Therefore, having the right motivation is our key ingredient to continuously keep improving our players’ basketball skills.
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” - Michael Jordan
During our training, the basketball team focuses both on the athletic aspects of the sport as well as on character building, leadership and sportsmanship. Values such as resilience, integrity and respect are instilled in every player throughout all our activities. Besides training, our players also have their share of fun during annual camps and team building activities to foster team spirit and strong camaraderie in the team.

Reflections
Being the Captain for B Division 2024 and next year 2025 I can say without a doubt that Loyang View’s basketball has improved over the 3 years I have been in this school. This is thanks to the amazing support the team gets from the teachers Mr. Clement, Mr. Chua, Mr. Melky and Coach Mao Hai Bin. They guided us to be the best basketball players that we can be. They make sure we give our all during CCA as well as care for us when we are feeling frustrated during games and trainings. Besides basketball, we have camps, barbecue and other enrichment activities that help bond the team together and create memories. My Goal for next year is that the team will persevere and be resilient in the face of difficulties so we can bring back a trophy for Loyang View Secondary school. When I step off as captain next year, I hope my juniors will still strive towards winning more trophies for Loyang View. Furthermore, I hope they grow a passion for the sport and aspire to play at a higher level even after secondary school. Basketball teaches you important lifelong values.
