Basketball Tour

Over the Michaelmas half-term break, 25 senior and junior Wellington basketball players travelled to Valencia in Spain for their annual tour.

The players trained and played at the fantastic L’alqeria de Basket, Home of Valencia Basket; Spanish coaches provided the Wellington players with training sessions which gave the Wellington students an insight into how hard they make their players work.

The Wellington teams played three games each against teams from Valencia Basket – the Spanish club has 56 teams so there was plenty of choice. The junior team lost two and won one, whilst the seniors won two games and lost one.

The players also visited Valencia city and the beach and enjoyed a daily walk through the central park.

Basketball is going from strength to strength at Wellington and the team is already planning the location and itinerary for next year’s tour.
