CGS BASKETBALL TOURS AMERICA Over the Christmas break, three CGS Basketball teams ventured to America on a basketball tour to rival all basketball tours. The 35 students spent three weeks training and playing against elite basketball academies, with each of the three teams experiencing their own respective high and low moments, recognising the skill (and often falling short) of the elite athlete development programmes in America. The students enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including watching an NBA game where the Orlando Magic lost to the Houston Rockets in the Amway Centre in Orlando, and also attending an Atlanta Falcons NFL game. The group of CGS students were blown away by the facilities at the many different colleges and universities. The students relished the on-court opportunities afforded to develop their basketball skills further. It wasn’t all ball though; the group embarked on site-seeing day trips to Coca-Cola World, Universal Studios, and Disney World, rounding out a highlights reel that will be cherished for years to come.
