Basketball Championship
From November to December 2022, the children of the “4 Peaks” mountain club took part in an amateur basketball championship organized by the After Hiking club. Within the After Hiking project, various friendly games are held (volleyball, football, table tennis, basketball…) in which hiking clubs take part, with teams made up of people who hike with each club. We and seven other clubs took part in the basketball games. Although we knew there was a difference in age and physical build, we decided to play and asked the other teams to treat us as serious rivals and play on equal terms. And in the very first game, with our persistent play, we showed that our preparation was not inferior. Out of eight hiking clubs, we and the Champordz (Traveler) hiking club reached the final. It was a very exciting game. Both teams played with their last ounce of strength, and the fans spared neither emotion nor voice, giving the game a special spirit. Without a doubt, the last game was the very best, regardless of the result. With their beautiful and smart play, the club’s teenagers made the teams play on equal terms, despite the differences in age and build. With a score of 50–46, we took 2nd place in the championship.
