Report on Leo Basketball Tournament

              On the 12th of August 2013, the Leo Club of SMK USJ 8 organized a Leo Basketball Tournament. The purpose of this project is to raise club funds and to create or bring bonds closer between the Leos of different schools.

              A total of 14 clubs have participated in this tournament which includes Leo Club of Assunta, Leo Club of Subang Utama, Leo Club of Taman Petaling, Leo Club of La Salle PJ, Leo Club of Sri KL , Leo Club of La Salle Klang, Leo Club of SMK USJ 13, Leo Club of Taman Sea, Leo Club of Damansara Jaya, Leo Club of SMK Seafield, Leo Club of PJI (O), Leo Club of Ipoh Unity (O), Leo Club of IPG Campus (O) and Leo Club of SMK USJ 8. The participants were separated into groups of ten which were named after colours.

             The event commenced at 9am where the Organizing committee separated us according to the respective groups given and announced the first match, Sky blue against Sea Blue. All the matches were truly very interesting as people from different places and different abilities were playing together. Watching from the side and playing in the game gave a totally different feel. When you are watching from the side, it was amazing to see how good other Leos can be at basketball and served as an inspiration to oneself. When you are in the game, you just didn’t want to disappoint my team members even though you may have just met them. It truly was an experience nothing can replace as we’ve met so many new friends and cooperated to do our very best even if we couldn’t play very well or had to support the weaker players.

             Every single game was very intense and jaw dropping at moments. Being able to share that with one another, even if you don’t really know that person, is not something we get an opportunity to do every day. Honestly, I really didn’t want to go in the beginning because of the fee that was a little pricey. I really would have regretted not going now that I look back because I got an opportunity to make so many new friends and play with or against them.

            The matches went on and on until 5pm. The Leos were all gathered to announce and present the medals to the winners. The winner of the loser’s pool was the Green Team. The runner up for the winner’s pool was the White Team and the champion of the tournament was none other than the Black Team! After that, they announced the MVP’s of the game and they really did deserve the award judging by their performance. After taking a group photo, everyone was dismissed and went home with nothing but good memories.
