Malezi Basketball Team Dominate Lenana

Malezi School boys continued with their march to top in the group stages of the Nairobi Secondary Schools Sports Association (NSSA) Schools League, taking advantage of mistakes in ball handling by national school Lenana, to win 69 - 11.  Malezi coach Amoko stated his disappointment with the management of the match, where the referee arrived an hour late, and only got to officiate in the final quarter, thereby leaving his substitute to carry the bulk of the work, and as a result, many fouls were allowed to take place. The top scorers were Zack Okongo and Lino Manyuel (both 15 points each)
Results:

Malezi                  Vs           Lenana
1st Qtr-09                     1st Qtr-00
2nd Qtr-16                    2nd Qtr-05
3rd Qtr-19                    3rd Qtr-03

Final score: 69 - 11

14 Sep 2011 NBA Africa partners with KBF/Malezi/Sadili To Offer First Coach Workshop


Court time: Coach Wright Elaborates On A Point

The Sadili Oval Sports Academy on 14th September 2011 hosted a world – class basketball clinic in conjunction with Kenya Basketball Federation, NBA Africa, Malezi College (Department of Sports, Recreation and Physical Education) and the famous basketball brand- Sprite.
Sadili boasts of having been the development platform for some of East Africa's basketball players who now play in the NBA and in the NCAA, honed their skills. The Malezi College also stands tall in being one of the premier institutions offering sports coaching and sports management courses in all sports at an affordable rate to coaches nationwide. Kenya Basketball federation, the nation’s basketball managing body is credited for having brought competitive basketball back into Kenya and as a result turned the sport into semi- professional. KBF’s resilience and hard work has attracted the corporate world into the game with  teams in within the major leagues.

Manyo chats with Nellie of Brookhouse School
The clinic at Sadili was run by re-knowned NBA Coach Wright and his South African-based NBA Africa counterpart John Manyo-Plange, and attracted a total of 48 coaches and referees. With 38 of the coaches being male and the other 10 being women, the facilitating coaches lauded the KBF and Sadili for having brought in women in a male dominated sport. Among the key skills taught by Coach Wright were offensive performance, defensive performance, player and coach attitude. Perhaps to note the main ingredient of their teachings was work ethic. In this segment of the clinic delivered by Coach Wright, coaches were exposed to a module that developed their mindset and also worked on their players’ mindset towards the game. ‘The main aim is winning, a player who is not interested in winning is as good as the bench’- Coach Wright. He went ahead to explain the reason for proper organizing of training sessions, prevention of injury and player conditioning within his module. In concluding their presentations both Toby Wright and Manyo-Plange expressed optimism in the local coaches being able to nurture more youngsters with the learn the skills and as a result provide the much needed new crop of players for the international basketball scene. They also expressed their interest in exploring ways to work with Sadili Oval and Malezi College, in the near future, as partners in developing basketball in Kenya. They were impressed by the commitment to sport, player, and facility development in 21 years.

Hot weather, long hours, but no-one is complaining!
Sprite has been in the Kenyan Hoops circles since 2003, creating basketball links between Kenya and the outside world and also offering an avenue for graffiti artists and Kenyan Hip- hop artists to showcase their skills. It is in August 2009 that the Sprite Slam series was officially launched in Kenya and ever since, players and coaches alike have been made to realize that basketball should be approached from a more sophisticated angle. The best of shows was put on display at the University of Nairobi courts on 16th August 2011.  Despite the rain coming down and soaking the courts, the top 40 players as selected by KBF worked extensively to showcase their 3 on 3 skills in front of a charged spectator presence.

Happy Faces Of Enlightened Coaches: "We Want More" they all say...a challenge to the organisers!

19 March 2011: Tree planting and Semi-finals

BRAZIL KENYA FOOTBALL LEAGUE SEMI FINALS RESULTS MEDIA RELEASE

Ligi Ndogo 2 Nature and Sports 0

Chris Kibet must have got the better of goalkeeper Levis Osena’s loss of concentration when his superbly carved freekick deflected against Brian Bwire’s head to slither into the net in the 14th minute. He went ahead to strike a neat drive into the back of the net at the 27th minute when Brian Bwire failed to contain his increasing pressure. On the other hand Kennedy Moya could see his slow drive being cleared at the edge of the area when all was clear for a goal that could have sealed the game for the Nature and sports in the 16th minute. Ball possession may be an art unique to nature and sports but their goal hungry traits were switched off in this encounter.

Sadili Sports for Life Celebrate Goal
Sports For Life 3 Lavington United 0
Jamin Luvembe, Charles Onyansi and Jesse Mwendia got the best of the already back-trotting Lavington United side that only showed quality in perseverance character. Charles Onyansi slotted in the Penalty at the 5th minute when Jamin Luvembe was brought down inside the area. Mwendia Jesse shook the net in the 19th minute after a neat pass from Duncan Ochieng. Jamine Luvembe then sealed
Lavington’s fate in the 36th minute when he headed home an unpredicted cross.

12 March 2011: Sadili Teams Qualify in Quarterfinals of Brazil Kenya League

Two Sadili Oval teams, Sports for Life and Nature and Sports, sailed through their quarterfinal matches at Langata High School
Young Talents 2 Ligi Ndogo 3
The warm equatorial morning would set stage for a one sided affair between these two teams who have always met at the top league. The best of matches of the day would see Kaka’s Charges miss two very important chances that would have left Ligi licking their wounds .Brian Ochieng, George Mwendwa scored for the Young Talents and Chris Ogutu’s 2 and Julian’s 1 sealed the deal.
Sports for life 4 Milimani Primary 0
Kevin Owino’s 2 goals, Charles Maguto’s 1 and Erick Onyango’s 1 could see a hapless Milimani primary out of the prestigious trophy. But the future is beckoning for Sports for Life. An easy match at the quarters may cause them trouble at the hot semis next week. Lets wait and see.
Lavington United 2 Hope Stars 0
Wario Wako and Felix Njuguna’s goals would lead the pack in tormenting the Hope Stars goalkeeper’s confidence. The duel became so tense that even the referee mistakenly handed out a yellow card in place of the suspension card. The midday sun not only did shine on Lavington United but also worked to scorch the Hope Stars.
St. Pauls 1 Nature and Sports 3
Tightest game of the day. Age verification and careful officiating became a necessity in this game that saw the teams proceed to post match penalties just after a 60 minute low shot from St. Paul’s John Mwangi that would have seen Nature and Sports out. It was curled so neatly that Javiras Okwanyo had to stretch his fingertips to deflect it into the side net. St. Pauls only converted one of their chances while Nature and Sports saw all their 3 spot kicks safely past the goalie and into the net.
Semi final action action continues next Saturday 19th March 2011 at Langata High School.
