The University of Nigeria Secondary School, Nsukka
recently completed its 17th biennial inter-house sports event.
Six houses competed in events in different sports at
the premises of the 41- year old school.
The Chairman of the school Board of Governors,
Professor F.A. Okwo commended the staff and students of the school for their
efforts in hosting a successful inter-house competition, as well as stressed on
the important role sports play in the general well-being and health of
students.
For the first time in the history of the
school, the game of netball was introduced by the school management that is led
by Uche Adama.
About 70 female students competed in the netball event
which was the star attraction of this inter-house sports competition.
It provided the young students with the opportunities
to exhibit the knowledge and skills that they have learnt from Oluchi Ngwoke
and their other P.E. Teachers.
Red and Green Houses played in the final netball match
which was won by Green House.
Pink House beat Yellow House to claim the third
position. Adaeze Chigbochieaha of Pink House was the best goal scorer of the
netball event.
Charles-Nnadi Chibundo of Yellow House beat Eze
Miracle of Green House to emerge as the most valuable player of the netball
competition.
Playing netball has generated a lot of excitement
among the female students at the school, who have been thrilled at what they
could do during the competition.
The students learned so fast the rules and skills that
are needed to excel in the game of netball.
Given the level of progress the student netballers
have made in a short period, the CSED initiative which has supported the
introduction of netball to the school, must consider working with the relevant
authorities to introduce netball to other secondary schools in the Nsukka area.
The Trustees of the CSED Initiative must also
explore the opportunity of introducing their “Sporting Coders” program to the
University Secondary School Nsukka in 2025.
