Elite Settling Ahead of the 2nd Small Group

Yulgeum Elementary School made its first appearance on the national stage in 2022 since its foundation in 2020. At that time, it advanced to the quarterfinals at the National Elementary School Basketball Competition under the president of the Korea Basketball Association, and beat Wolbae elementary school students from Daegu Girls' Elementary School to stage the Boys' Sports Festival.

Coach Kim Sung-gu led the team, but it was regrettable that there was no professional leader.

Yulgeum Elementary School appointed Ju Young-hwa as its coach for stable operation of the basketball team in 2023. Ju Young-hwa led Lee Seung-hyun (KCC) to the basketball team and had long been a leader in Chilgok Elementary School and Haeseo Elementary School in Daegu.

Yulgeum Elementary School, which did not have a professional leader, operated like a club unlike other teams. The most important thing for the main film coach since his appointment was to make him elite.

In the process, he once again won a berth to participate in this year's Boys' Sports Festival, representing Daegu.

The Boys' Sports Festival basketball event will be held in Gangjin, Jeollanam-do, from the 24th. Yulgeum Elementary School will have its first match with Jeonju Seoil Elementary School, the representative of Jeonbuk, on Saturday. If it wins, it will compete with the winner of Gyeongsangbuk-do's representative elementary school and Daejeon's Gapcheon Elementary School to advance to the semifinals.

The boys' sports event should also follow the luck of the match, but Yulgeum Elementary School has avoided strong teams, so the match is not bad.

Coach Joo Young-hwa said, "The players are good, but now they are developing into elites because they have been run as a club," adding, "The players are not bad in height. I thought I should be a representative of Daegu (the Boys' Sports Festival), but I feel good to be a representative of Daegu."

"The preparation for the Boys' Sports Festival is not fully recognized as an elite athlete, so there are many regrets in many ways. If you have a lot of exercise, you can set a clear goal of winning the bronze medal, but you didn't train as much," he said. "If you have luck that day and the players are in good condition, you will be able to play well. Even if you don't win a medal, I'm comforted by the possibility of development in the future," he said, explaining how he is preparing for the Boys' Sports Festival.

On the 16th, officials from the Daegu Eastern Office of Education visited Yulgeum Elementary School to encourage the players.

Coach Joo Young-hwa said, "It operates like a club, and when I take office, I definitely turn into an elite," adding, "I don't know what I've heard, but I'm ready to do better next year and the year after, so I came to encourage the players."

While watching Yulgeum Elementary School's training, one by one left the gymnasium to go to an academy. This is an inevitable reality that often occurs in elementary school basketball training.토토사이트 순위

"The height of the sixth graders is good, but the amount of practice is low, and the parents and players are less perceived as elite," coach Joo Young-hwa said. "The 4th and 5th graders are getting better because they can become elite players. They will become a team with potential in Daegu from now on. Of course, they need to increase their practice volume to get better. Schools will provide good support to students by recruiting new seniors after the boys' sports event."

It is certain that Yulgeum Elementary School is developing little by little. The experience of holding a big competition called the Boys' Sports Festival will be the foundation for its growth.
