BETHLEN CUP
Bethlen Gabor College Basketball Tournament
The popularity of basketball is growing in the schools, in our school, too. The basketball, due to its speed and variation possibilities it is very spectacular not only for the participants but also for the spectators, too. Basketball is one of those sports that not only makes you stronger, but it's good for your shape and your soul. Having a collective nature significantly contributes to the social education of people. For spending their spare time usefully, and providing constant competing opportunities amongst children, has led us to organize events, sporting events in which most of the students have been mobilized, also have been physically and spiritually fulfilled. This way was born the idea of organizing the "Bethlen Cup" Basketball Tournament a tournament where we should invite different basketball teams where together with the selected team of the college take part in a one-day event to obtain
the grand prize, the "Bethlen Cup".
Our objectives: To familiarize competitive basketball, to endear this game, to spread it in Gábor Bethlen College, to provide more entertainment, training and opportunity for our students to compete and last but not least, to mobilize and gather students for the competitive basketball.
We organized the first "Bethlen Cup" Basketball Tournament in the 2009 - 2010 school year, followed by a basketball tournament for high school students, and the tournament held in the city's sports hall for the high school students.
In the 2011-2012 school year the 3rd Bethlen Cup Basketball Tournament has been organized, hoping that the "providers of sport and those who require/desire this sport find each other".
