This year’s basketball season was a great experience for both junior high and high school players. Through practices and games, they worked hard to improve their skills and grow as a team. Along the way, they learned the importance of teamwork, communication, and confidence on the court. The season brought challenges, but also many memorable moments for everyone involved.

Throughout the season, players practiced during the week at ARC and the Suddhana Center. During practice, they focused on important skills like passing, shooting, dribbling, and defense. Coaches also taught new plays and strategies to help players better understand the game.

The games were an important part of the season. Players had the chance to apply what they learned in practice and face different opponents. During games, they learned how to think quickly, stay focused, and support their teammates.

Compared to last year, both junior high and high school teams showed improvement in their skills and teamwork. Players communicated more on the court and worked better together. Even when games were difficult, they kept trying and didn’t give up.

From this season, players learned valuable lessons about teamwork, communication, and responsibility. They learned how to trust each other, stay positive, and keep improving. These lessons will help them not only in basketball but also in other parts of life.

Overall, the 2025–26 basketball season was a success. Players improved their skills, built stronger teamwork, and gained confidence. Thank you to the coaches for their time, effort, and support throughout the season, and to all the players for their hard work and dedication.
