Backboard Tournament!


  • I forget to talk about the tournament we had with all of the different classes on Sunday.


    It all started when we were practicing how to backboard a patient. Then our instructor, Avishy, decides to make a competition within our class to see who can go faster. It was a lot of fun, and everyone in our group became much more efficient and faster after competing for an hour and a half. However, being super Israeli, Avishy decides to make it into an even larger competition and challenges two of the other three classes to have a "backboard tournament challenge".


    All three of our classes rounded up outside, and each class had four individual power teams that they chose to use. The first part of the tournament was a relay race: you must backboard then clean up and then the next team can start the back-boarding process. Long story short, my class won. Then we had 1v1v1. The best of the best of each team went head to head and whoever backboarded someone first won. I wasn't in the best team, but everyone in each class was cheering on their team to win. It was a lot of fun, but very exhausting. We won again!



    Then we wanted to see if the instructors could show us how fast they can backboard someone, since they have been teaching us for so long. Even though they had three people instead of four we thought that they would be faster. But they weren't! It was a really funny moment though because after they were done and realized they weren't as fast as two of the teams, Avishy, our instructor, raised his hands in victory and pretended that he won. (he's so Israeli)
