SPORTS DAY !!

On Wednesday 7th of September the Overseas School of Colombo had Sports day. The sports that were played were: football, Volleyball, Kickball and basketball. After the lunch  break there was swimming, but since it wasn't mandatory to participate in most of the secondary students did not do this.
Out of all the sports played that day , Football and Volleyball were the ones i enjoyed the most since they have always been the sports I enjoyed as a hobby, unlike basketball and kickball which are sports i would only take part in if i had too which came across in this occasion. Since i have been attending OSC for a while now i've been too previous sports day and too be honest this one wasn't one i enjoyed allot. The reason for this being that the games which were played were too short, each game would be 10 minutes, so once you actually start to get into the game its time to wrap it up and move on. Sports has always been a big part of my life for as long as i can remember but having games that short just didnt make it enjoyable for me and I wasn't motivated to play. On the conclusion of sports day the house that won was Red house, in second place Blue, Yellow taking in third place leaving behind Green in last. Through this sports I also became aware that our school has lost allot of spirit. Previous sports day were about representing your house and being proud of it but with this sports day allot of students skipped and many just came to school with no spirit. One good thing about sports day is that it brings people closer together, its at the start of the school year so not everyone knows everyone and it just brings them closer together outside a classroom environment.
