Basketball

Current middle school math teacher, Iliana Flefel started playing basketball in 5th grade and continued on the court through high school as a varsity starter at the Washington Waldorf School. In college, she played club for two years, and has been playing recreationally since. She has a deep love for the sport, not only because she finds it thrilling and exciting, but because players must work together as a single unit. About the sport, Coach Flefel remarks, “Each player on the court needs to be aware and in tune with their teammates. They need to move and flow together as one being. As a team, every player learns every position, plays both defense and offense, and has the chance to score. This leads to a feeling of equality and accomplishment for each student that joins the team. I believe all sports are truly about sportsmanship, athleticism, teamwork, and fun, and hope that I can lead the middle school girls into a season full of exciting challenges. Go Spartans!”
