This morning, SEK International School Qatar participated again on the Schools Olympic Program (SOP). Ten pupils from Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4 (International Baccalaureate Curriculum) competed for SEK Qatar on the SOP Boys’ Basketball Level 1 tournament. The tournament was hosted at the Qatar Basketball Federation.

Five-a-side matches of 20 minutes were played, firstly against Al Shorouq Model Independent School. SEK Qatar won the match by 6-1. SEK Qatar scored 3 field goals (2 points each), 1 by Ignacio (G.4) and 2 by Leonardo (G.4), against one free throw (1 point) from the opponents. Our second match was played against Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Boys Model Independent school, in which our boys succeeded by 6-2 points. All field goals scored by Filip Loncaric (G.3).

This was SEK Qatar first participation on SOP in the Academic Year of 2015-2016. Our pupils’ enthusiastic participation was recorded and publish by the Qatar Basketball Federation on their Twitter account @qatarbf.
