Getting ready to face the shooting skills test
I have been assigned to assist with basketball at Loughlinstown Sports Centre* on the southern outskirts of Dublin. Today and yesterday, the athletes took part in "Divisioning" - an assessment of their individual skills and team play. The aim is to divide the 16 female teams into four divisions of approximately equal ability ready for the start of Monday's matches. Everyone is struggling to play well** after such a late finish at last night's opening ceremony.
* = that meant 2 buses from my digs on the other side of the city (in Stillorgan) to the sports centre, taking an hour each way. On top of a 10 hour stint, it was quite a long day! Luckily as a Special Olympics volunteer I'd been given a public transport pass for the duration of the games, so could go anywhere in Dublin on buses and trains for free.
** = or were they? See 24th June's post...
