Broom Leys Crowned North West Leicestershire Basketball Champions

We are incredibly proud of our Year 5 and 6 basketball team, who were recently crowned North West Leicestershire Champions, having gone through the entire competition unbeaten. Their brilliant performances mean they will now go on to represent the district in the County Finals in a couple of months’ time.

The tournament, held at Ibstock Leisure Complex, saw the team play with great determination, teamwork and sportsmanship. Across the competition, they won four matches and drew one, showing consistent focus and a real desire to do their very best. Every player worked amazingly well together, using their strengths, supporting each other and demonstrating the tactics they had been practising in school.

The pride and happiness this achievement has brought the team has been wonderful to see, and it’s clear how much they have grown in confidence while playing a sport they love.

Mr Bradley‑Hill, our Sports Coach, praised the team’s efforts, saying: “The team was amazing, working together as one and using everyone in the team for their best abilities.”

We would like to say a huge well done to the whole team. They have represented Broom Leys superbly, and we wish them the very best of luck in the County Finals!
