两个月前，上海燎原双语学校篮球队加入了上海双语学校体育联盟(SSSA)并且在赛事的促进下，燎原开始强化自己的校园体育文化。

Two months ago, Liaoyuan joined the Shanghai School Sports Association (SSSA) and our sports program got the quick charge it needed to start building a culture of sport at our school.

本月，燎原的篮球队取得了质的飞跃。首先，U13男子篮球队请来了Lavelle Emerson成为新教练，Lavelle Emerson曾担任NBA夏季联赛以及瑞典和挪威的青年国家队的教练超过20年。以下是男孩们与新教练**次训练时的照片:

This month, our basketball program got a shot in the arm when our U13 boys basketball team secured Lavelle Emerson as their new coach. Mr Emerson has over 20 years experience coaching in the NBA summer leagues as well as the junior national teams of Sweden and Norway. Here are some photos of the boys in their first sessions with the new coach:

燎原U13女篮和U19男篮队伍成立之初。篮球队给了学生很多机会，这对他们来说是一种全新的体验。

Also this month, our U13 Girls and U19 Boys Basketball teams were formed, giving more of our students the chance to experience competitive school sports for the first time in their lives.

对于U19每位同学特别是即将卸任的队长沙钰濠同学，这段经历将永生难忘。沙钰濠同学是团队的重要一份子，尽管知道自己只能陪着队友走过开始的几周，但他仍然在最开始把同学们组织在一起。

The experience of our U19 boys basketball team in particular is one that our departing captain Elijah will remember long after he leaves our school. He was an important part of getting this team together in the first place and he did it all knowing that he would only be around to enjoy it for a few weeks.

在他离队后，队友们非常想念他的领导才能和对比赛的热爱。他谈了谈团队建设初期的经历：

His leadership and love for the game will be sorely missed by his teammates now that he leaves for Los Angeles. For this newsletter, we’ve asked him to write about the team’s experience in its first month together, where they finished undefeated:

当我们知道有比赛的时候，大家都很激动，所有人都很主动地去参与训练，没有迟到或早退。

**场比赛，我们都非常期待，凯文是个很负责也很有经验的教练，他知道怎样用我们的打法去规定战术，在凯文的指导下，燎原和对手打平，虽然没有赢得最后的胜利，但大家享受比赛过程。

12月14日，燎原又进行了与进才高中的比赛，这次，在天时地利人和的情况下赢得了比赛，大家都很开心并一起欢呼着!希望燎原的篮球队能越来越好，并继续赢得比赛。
