Thursday 26th February 2026 – Today some of our talented Plympton Academy Sports Leaders hosted 3 schools for Heat 2 of the PSSP Primary Basketball. Teams from Chaddlewood, Plympton St. Maurice and Holy Cross took part in our round-robin event where 5 points are awarded for a win/3 points for a draw and 1 point for a loss. The sports hall was buzzing with excitement from the players and spectators. It was brilliant to see so many children playing and having a great time. We played full court to allow the children more room to demonstrate their skills and we had some evenly matched games. We definitely had some talented players who were putting up some big scores. When all of the schools had played each other, the points were tallied and the winners announced… Congratulations to Chaddlewood Primary who were our overall winners today and will be competing in the final next week against the winners from the previous heat. Well done to all of the children who took part today, I hope you all enjoyed it – keep practicing and I look forward to seeing you all back here for another event very soon. Thank you to all of the staff for bringing their teams along and a special thank you to our Sports Leaders for all your excellent work.
