Ganser GIRLS' BASKETBALL REPORT Basketball is starting to happen at Muizenberg. We entered two teams this year - a first team and an U15 team. The standard of play in the league is generally high as we compete against the first teams of other schools, some of whom have many years of basketball experience. Despite losing most of their games, the first team showed a tremendous improvement in skills and tactics and the margin of defeat narrowed with each game. The highlight of the season was the game played against Herzlia. Tina's shooting was strongly supported by the dribbling and tackling of her team mates to bring about our first win. We really appreciated the help and guidance given us by Penny Ganser fa Muizenberg past pupilj. Penny helped to develop the team's tactics for attack and defence, and introduced exercises to improve the team's general skills. We thank her for her support and enthusiasm. This is the first time Muizenberg has had an U15 team, which brings a needed depth to the sport. As beginners, the team coped very well with the game. They need to improve their shooting skill in particular, but that will come in time. Mariska Gerber and Tina Atkinson were invited to the W.P. Colts trials where they gained valuable experience. We say goodbye to most of the first team at the end of ' the year - Tina, Jane Innes, Linda Bosch and Barbara Claassen - but with the remaining team members, Mariska and Wendy Claassen and some promising Ul5's coming up, we look forward to a good season.

The seconds won only four out of ten matches, but some of the others were fairly close. The first team won four out of the five matches in the first half of the season and was then promoted to the C league. The competition was quite tough for our lads and they only managed to win two out of five games, but two of the others could have gone either way. Unfortunately we could never have full team practices, because of clashes with practice times of other sports in which the boys participated. We hope that the situation will change next year. My thanks to the players for their enthusiasm at coaching sessions and for turning up regularly for these sessions. A. Heyns fCoachj i l Ferlise Loubser Ccaptainj, Shan Airey, Mr A. Heyns lcoachl, Samantha Hack, Glynnis Medcalf Ross Munro fcaptainl, Garth Airey, Mr A. Heyns fcoachj, Roualeyn de Haas, Grant van der Vijver Girls We started the season with one team in the D league and quite a few beginners who responded to coaching with enthusiasm. It was, however, difficult coaching all the players at different times. I was fortunate in enlisting the services of Mrs M. Medcalf who helped with the coaching of our girls as well as supplying transport for away matches. During the second part of the season M.H.S. entered a second team in the E league. The seconds soon found out that competitive badminton was much harder than they had thought it to be. They played four matches andf, unfortunately, could not win any. We hope this will improve next year. Our firsts lost only three out of ten matches. This is fair- ly good and will push them into the C league next year. My thanks to Mrs Medcalf for the part that she played and to all the girls for their enthusiasm and for turning up regularly for coaching. Sponsored by Mr 8: Mrs N.J.C.
