Tweede Klasse CLD

Tweede Klasse CLD won open game of the S.B.A Season

With only a low turn out on Saturdays practice. Coach Zephanya Zeefuik and other members of CLD trained with the Tweede Klasse CLD for their opening game last Sunday against Tweede Klasse Yellow Birds. As they highlighted key positioning on the zone defence and spacing on the floor.

                                       

Sunday's game was hard played with an opening first quarter CLD 21 - Y.B 8. With a dramatic fourth quarter ending leading both teams to overtime. Coach Zephanya was not able to coach Sunday's game, but with the help from backup Coach Osafa Johnson. He was able to pull off a defensive strategy moving his box-in-one defence, shifting one of his guards to deny the ball from Yellow Birds shooting guard Eddie. Forcing Birds to fall short and CLD coming up with the win in the overtime. CLD players to mention who have contributed to the win are PG: Henck, SF: J. Nijman, PF: Lloyd Wekker, PG: G. Ormskerk who has contributed to the first quarter blowout and not to forget J. Gefferie and Wei for their lock out defence. And of course for the bench players who have also contributed in key factors. Afterall basketball is a TEAM sport.

Work Hard Play Hard

Team CLD came out big in tonight's gym session. Full gym workout with Coach Rambo and Cadios with Coach Seneca. Great to see LL and Jeff flexing. Even our Center from the girl division of Team CLD is out on the treadmill.

Gyming and Cardios is an essential part of our basketball program in Team CLD.

And not to forget Omarion back on the block....


Go Team CLD

Having a daily glass of Banana Shake

I am a banana lover. Bananas can give you 10 times as much energy than all the well known energy drinks on the market.

Banana Shake

Before every game or after training I drink maximum 1 kilo of blended bananas with milk and half a tea spoon of sugar. To re-energize my body and to strength my bones. With every glass I feel great, full of energy and ready to go.

Motivational Speech with just seconds left 

Coach Seneca at his best after returning from his 1 year training camp with RSA Basketball Camp. Shepherding his players through the Pre-season Basketball Tournament in the Republic of Suriname. Team CLD is one of Suriname best National Teams that has a wide range of talent from ages 18 to mid 30's. I am amazed with the talent as being part of the team as a player. 

Team CLD 2014 Pre-Season Champions

It was a long road through out the pre-season. Late and long nights at training, discovering new drills, better footwork, rebuilding a team. Finishing at the last seed of the bracket with a final chance to redeem ourselves pushing towards the finals. We battled all the way to finals coming out as national CHAMPIONS of the Suriname Basketball Association Pre-Season Games.

This is not our final journey as one team we are playing our hearts out to become CHAMPIONS of the 2014 Playoffs.
