LITTLE 8 - BASKETBALL 2007
Results and Standings
At the Little 6 and the Little 8 we compete among eight (or six) international schools in Brazil (EAB/Brasília, Chapel/SP, Graded/SP, St Paul’s/SP, PACA/SP (only Little 8), British School/RJ (only Little 8), EAC/Campinas and EARJ. These tournaments are held at “Nosso Recando 2” – www.nr.com.br, a nice ranch around Campos do Jordão. The students stay at the camp and it is a three-day competition. Parents are welcome to go and watch the games. There are “pousadas” or hotels nearby in which parents can stay. Contact the school if you would like to travel with us. The Little 8 tournaments occur twice a year, usually in November and May. The Little 6 is a Soccer Tournament among six schools and takes place in November. During the first semester the Little 8 teams include Cheerleading performance, and girls’ and boys’ Basketball. During the second semester the Little 8 teams include both boys’ Futsal and girls’ Volleyball as well as Cheerleading performance. In addition, there is a boy’s Volleyball team which compete at the Friendship Festival. The girls’ Futsal team compete in São Paulo. Students can participate in either the Little 6 or Little 8, but not in both in the first semester. All these teams play against brazilian and international schools. These games prepares our Middle School teams for the Little 6 and the Little 8 tournaments. Also, provides an opportunity for the students who do not travel to experience a game situation. The competition has been extremely strong and students have a chance to represent EARJ and interact with others. The games offer opportunities for cooperation, competition, and teamwork. In addition, it enhances student pride and identification with friends, school community and encourages the growth of good citizenship. Dates for this semester

MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of Middle School Athletics is to provide students the opportunity to learn from, to participate in, and to experience team sports. It is our desire to increase participation and teamwork and diminish the emphasis on competition for the middle level student.
· All students on a team will have a chance to play in each game situation. Scrimmage games provide the opportunity for all members of the team to play.
· Coaches will motivate all students to better their skills and to participate on the team.
· The coaches and Athletic Director will work to allow as many students to participate in a sport as is feasible.
· Determination of the traveling team for the Little 6 and Little 8 will be determined at the last possible moment – when the organizing school asks for the final list of players.
· Coaches and teachers will work together to ensure that student athletes perform well in the classroom and on the playing field.
· Practice takes place two afternoons per week per sport.
