Basketball Results

The picture above illustrates the results from our end of session questionnaires. It collates how the coaches, managers and participants felt about the programme. The coaches thought that the programme made an excellent positive impact on their personal life and would have no reservations about recommending the programme to others. While they thought the programme was very good, their expectations were not completely met as it was difficult recruiting and retaining participants. Finally, the coaches thought that it was difficult to volunteer due to family, work and their leadership experience.

The managers thought the programme was very good and would have little to no reservations recommending the programme to others. The managers surveyed were those who operated the halls that we used.

The participants thought highly of the programme as well. They thought the programme made a good impact on their community and their personal lives. The programme had little impact on their school/work and we believe that this will change once larger organisations are able to support us better.

In general the basketball programme was successful and we hope to continue to deliver this session again next year.

Bball Final


Today we finished our basketball activities with Cadder putting in a strong preformance and Milton winning the Clan Title. The first match resulted in a tie, the second left Milton the clear winner and today's resulted in a close win to Milton. At half time and with only 1 minute to go, Cadder was in the lead by a point. However, at the end of the game, the Milton boys were able to be victorious with the final score being 32 to 31. Well done to all who participated!

Saturday 16 May 2009


Cadder and Milton have enjoyed the past 4 weeks of basketball with about a half dozen participants showing up regularly for training and about 8 for matches. The first match resulted in a tie 22/22 and the second with a clear win for Milton. The final will be held in the Kelvinhall and we are asking for a £2 donation form spectators to help cover costs. Cadder is coming on strong and with all the new participants, I am sure a great final will be had!
