Basketball has been running in Collinstown for a number of years. The teams are coached by teachers Ms Kirwan, Mr Higgins and Ms Clarke. There is a boys under 16 and under 19 team and one girls team.
In the 2019/2020 the school had a historic year on the basketball court. There was unprecedented success as the boys under 19 basketball team made it to an All Ireland semi final. Along the way they won the Leinster final and beat many good teams. The highlight was the trip to the National Basketball arena in Tallaght, most players were playing here for the first time. Unfortunately the team came up short in the semi final. However, it was a wonderful year and the support by 50 Collinstown Park students on Leinster final day will be long remembered.
If you want to join the school basketball team, keep an eye out for training notices or come speak to Ms Kirwan, Ms Clarke or Mr Higgins.
