我们的宝贝MELODY十一岁了!

Our baby MELODY is 11 years old!



2004年12月MELODY首次室内全场篮球活动! December, 2004: MELODY’s First Indoor Full CourtBasketball Activity!


至最敬爱的MELODY小伙伴们和朋友们,

Dearest MELODY members and friends,


今天是我们的11岁生日。11年前,或者说4,017天前,我们第一次在万人体育馆的室外篮球场组织了我们的第一场篮球活动。当时我们还没有名字呢,但作为这个俱乐部的创始人,我很清楚地记得那天周六傍晚一共有八位女篮球爱好者。2004年5月22日,我永远会记得的一天。


Today is our 11th birthday. 11 years ago, or 4,017days ago to be exact, we had our first basketball activity at an outdoor courtin Shanghai Stadium. We didn’t have a name then, but as the founder of theclub, I remember we were eight female ballers playing together that Saturdaynight. May 22, 2004, a day I will never forget.

所以在这个特别的日子里,我想写点东西。好吧,不是一点东西…是写东西!


So, on this special day, I would like to write alittle something. Well, not exactly a little…but something!



MELODY第二场对外比赛(与上海协和国际学校女篮一队)MELODY’s second external game against CISS Varsity. (装备准备起! Gear all set up!)


去年当我们庆祝我们的十周年时,我们组织了场轰趴回顾了我们的十年,也吃了好多(真的非常多)。今年,我决定我们在网上庆生,在心里庆祝。(好吧,我今年偷懒了。)答应大家二十岁时会再回顾我们的故事!


Last year when we celebrated our10th anniversary, we had a big home party going through our club’s story,and we ate a lot of food. (Yes, really a lot of food) This year, I decided thatwe celebrate it online and within our hearts. (All right, I am just being lazythis year.) We will do another recap in our 20th anniversary, yes this is apromise!

时间过得好快,我们又过生日了。作为国内最早成立的业余女子篮球组织之一,很高兴我们成为了国内新组成的业余女子篮球组织的榜样之一。


Time flies, again we have another birthday. As one ofthe oldest amateur women's basketball clubs in the country, we are happy to beone of the role models for new clubs forming around the nation.



2005年10月23日MELODY的篮球日! October 23, 2005: MELODY Basketball Day!


今年我们做了一些新的东西,就是联系起国内其他业余女篮组织去认识大家,也和国外的一些组织联系起来。希望通过这些交流能连在一起。在俱乐部成立的十一年来,朋友们偶尔会问起我,俱乐部的目标是什么?在去年前我没能很好地回答这个问题。MELODY的目标是给女篮爱好者提供一个打球平台。就这么简单。


This year we are doing something a little different aswe have been interviewing similar clubs around the country and the world,hoping to be connected. Throughout the 11 years, people have been asking me,what is your goal for the club? I was not able to properly answer this questionuntil last year. The goal for MELODY is create a platform for female ballers toplay. Just as simple as that.



2006年2月25日MELODY轰趴!February 25, 2006: MELODY Home Party!


当然在这个简单的目标背后有很多其他迷你目标。在未来的一年里我们会继续组织俱乐部里各个球队的篮球训练和对外比赛以及招募新队员,我们会继续和国内外女篮交流和联系并且学习女篮。希望通过这些交流可以给全世界的女篮爱好者不管到哪里都有球打的平台。


But of course behind this simple goal, there are manyother mini-goals that we hope to achieve. In the coming year our teams willcontinue to organize training sessions and games (and recruit new players), wewill keep connecting with other amateur women's basketball clubs around thecountry and learn about women's basketball around the world. We hope to buildthese connections so that every female baller can find a place to play nomatter where they go.

年初我有机会作为一个业余女篮爱好者在巴黎、伦敦和首尔的业余女篮俱乐部打球。在这三个城市的经历证实了篮球她本身就是一门语言。你可以不懂某国的语言或者在第一次参加她们所组织的篮球前不知道组织里的任何一个人,但篮球的魔法会自己展现出她自身的神奇功力并且把你放在一个很自在的状态,觉得一切都是对的。你不再觉得自己是在一个陌生的地方或者和一群陌生人在一起。这个运动的熟悉感会让你觉得非常自在、舒适。好吧,其实就是想说打球的孩子们都很酷很友善的人!


Earlier this year I had the chance to be a femaleballer and play in the clubs in Paris, London and Seoul. The experience inthese three cities verified the fact that basketball is a language herself. Youmay not speak the country's language or know the players in the team before thefirst session you attend, but the basketball magic will do its thing and putyou in a position where everything seems to be right. You no longer feel you'rein a foreign place or with a group of strangers, but the familiarity ofeverything about this team sport makes you feel at ease being wherever you are.All right, what I want to say is ballers are cool and friendly people!



2007年4月22日MELODY主场对战上海汉晨女篮. April 22, 2007: MELODY vs Shanghai Hanchs Women's Basketball.


明年我决定创业,做女子体育的项目。非常期待即将为女子篮球爱好者们组织比赛和活动。虽然这个创业项目会和MELODY分开,因为MELODY她永远会是一个社区组织和平台,但我相信这个创业项目会吸引到国内外女篮篮球爱好者的。国内外?当然,她们说,要先想得到才能做得到,所以要想大一点!;) (为何明年呢?因为很快我会离开我现在的工作开始我的gap year玩一年顺便为明年的创业项目做一些准备!)


Next year I have decided to start my own business inwomen's sports and look forward to organizing basketball tournaments and events for female ballers. Though it will be separated from MELODY, as MELODY will always be a community sports club; I believe the business I plan to do willcater to the needs and demands of the female ballers around the country (and of course, the world). Because they say, you gotta think big before you can achieve something big. ;) (Why next year? Because I will soon leave my job andam taking a gap year to have some fun while preparing for the business!)



2007: MELODY三岁生日! MELODY’s 3rd Birthday!


明年的“先睹为快”,如果你的组织正在寻找出国门参加5对5比赛,请从现在开始准备起来吧(存钱+空出时间)!明年下半年在新加坡将进行一场新加坡、马来西亚和中国的业余女篮的比赛。具体信息确认后会第一时间发布,大家敬请期待!


A sneak peek to next year, if your club is looking totravel and participate in a 5v5 basketball tournament in Singapore, startsaving up and prepare for this trip. It will be a tournament with theSingaporean, Malaysian and Chinese teams at the amateur level playing inSingapore in the second half of 2016. More information will be shared once thedetails are confirmed!



2007年10月:MELODY“只有女生”三对三篮球挑战赛!MELODY “Ladies Only” 3v3 Basketball Tournament!


上周有一位潜在新人给我发了条微信问什么时候可以来我们俱乐部其中一个球队的试训。我回复她说由于人力物理资源有限,加上因为所有在俱乐部组织的小伙伴们都是志愿者,以及为了保证打球质量;我们有限制每个球队的人数,所以还要排队等一等。其实我是感受到了她等待的痛苦感受,所以我就建议她在等待的时间里找其他平台看看有没有机会打球。和她交流的过程中她说了一句“我只是想打球”。这句话怔住了我。这是我为何在十一年前创办了这个平台至今还一直坚持的主要动力。因为说实话,我也只是想找个地方打球,有同样喜欢篮球的队友一起打球罢了。


Last week a potential member sent me a WeChat textasking when she can come to audition for one of our teams. I wrote her back andexplained to her that due to the limited resources we have since everyone inthe management team is a volunteer, we have to limit the number of players inthe teams to ensure the quality of each basketball session we organize.  I felt her pain having to wait before she canplay, and advised her to search for another platform as there are many othersin Shanghai while waiting. Her exact phrase was, "I just want toplay". This made me cringe. It was (and still is) the motivation I hadmore than 11 years ago until now which made me start and persist with MELODY,as honestly, I only wanted to find a place to play.



2009年:MELODY五岁生日!MELODY’s 5th Birthday!


但如果每一个人都只是想找个地方打球会发生什么事呢?我来告诉你会发生什么事吧。什么都不会发生。因为总要有人去组织和搭建这个打球平台才能有平台给大家打球。所以这些“人”是谁呢?这十一年来我们有很多MELODY的小伙伴们要感谢。


But what if everyone only wants to find a place toplay? Let me tell you what will happen. Nothing. Nothing will happen becausesomeone has to organize and create that platform so everyone can play. So who are these “someones”? :) Through out the 11 years, we have several members that MELODY would like to thank for.


Vin, Jessie (A1), Kitty (熊熊), Cooper, Natasha (麦子), Jasmine, Joan, Steph, Theresa, Jojo (土根), July,Talent(天才),Bee, Chris (老太), Lucy, Vian, Yaya, Seven, Asoka, Monkey (猴子), Karen (湾湾), Jiayi, Curara, Rain, Emma, Culon,Koko



2009年12月12日MELODY组织和上海女篮交流! December 12th, 2009: MELODY visited Shanghai Octopus Women’s Basketball Club!


名单上的大部分小伙伴现在虽然已不在俱乐部的管理组里活跃参与,但她们还是会用自己的方式去关注我们!我们很感激大家在这11年里给这个平台付出过和正在一直付出的一切。非常感谢您们。另外我们也想感谢所有陪伴MELODY成长的成员们和朋友们,这一路走得并不容易。没有大家的支持,MELODY不会有今天。球场因妳而不同。真的哦!


Though a number of them are no longer active in the management team, they are still supporting for us in some way! We appreciate the time and effort every single one of you had contributed or are contributing to this platform. Special thanks to all of you. In addition we would also like to thank every member and friend who has been part of MELODY in any way throughout these 11 years, it has not been easy. Without your support, MELODY would not be here today.Your Presence Makes a Difference.Yes it really does!



2010年7月13日:MELODY在洛克即兴3对3篮球活动! July 13, 2010:MELODY’s 3v3 Basketball Activity at Rucker Park!


对于我来说,MELODY就像是我的第二份工作,但是无薪的工作。有时候还要付出(钱)得到我想得到的(打球机会)。今天,我想改正一下这个说法。其实做这一切我是有“酬劳”的。只是这些“酬劳”不是现金!我在MELODY所付出的时间,不管是在协调活动、和其他小伙伴们沟通组织活动、介绍俱乐部给新人还是写一篇东西;我是有“酬劳”的。


For me, it's like having a second job but not “gettingpaid” for it, and a few occasions, having to pay (money) to get what I'm hopingto get (play). Well, I would like to correct that today. I did “get paid” forall the work I've done. It's just the “payment” wasn't given in cash! :) Forthe time I have invested in MELODY, whether it was coordinating activities,liaising with various members to set up an event, introducing our club topotential members, or writing an article; I have been “getting paid”.



2011年1月22日MELODY精灵队聚会! January 22nd, 2011: MELODY ELves’ Social Activity!


成就感、感到快乐让我笑、归属感、遇到可以交一辈子的朋友、通过管理和带领这个大家庭累积的经验和提升个人技能的机会都是我的收获。当然,最重要的“酬劳”是我有球打,有地方可以打球。这是,我相信,是所有愿意在这个平台做管理组一员抽出自己的业余时间为俱乐部做事的主要和最大原因之一。让我们总结下这个平台对我们的意义吧!


The sense of achievement, the happiness I felt thatmade me smile, the sense of belonging, the friends I met who are for life bythe way, the work experience gained and the skills I've had the opportunity toimprove through managing and leading this club are the rewards to my work. Andof course the most important "payment" is I get to play, I have aplace to play basketball. This is, I believe, the biggest and main reason whyevery member who was and is volunteering to be part of the management team, wasand is motivated to take time out of her free time to give to the club and do alittle something. So here we summarized what this platform means to us!

MELODY的妈妈们! Moms in MELODY!



篮球是在124年前在1891年12月初由詹姆斯·奈史密斯教授创造的。女子篮球是在篮球被创造的隔年在1892年由森达·倍任森介绍的。这个现象并不新奇,因为女子体育永远是跟在男子体育后面,女子体育永远缺乏资金支持和关注。但,让我们为篮球做点事吧,为我们对这个团体运动的热爱做点事。希望国内外的业余女子篮球组织继续发展和成长,有一天我们共同创办一个国际篮球嘉年华!篮球是一项团体运动,如果我们联手一起努力,相信是可以达到共同的目标的!让我们在2034年之前实现这个梦想吧!



詹姆斯·奈史密斯教授 Dr. James Naismith

大家说美不美啊! Look at this!


Basketball was founded by Dr. James Naismith inDecember, 1891, which is about 124 years ago. Women's basketball was introducedby Senda Berenson the year after in 1892. It is not a new phenomenon thatwomen's sports is always behind men's sports, women's sports always get limitedfunds, support and attention; but let's do something different for basketball,for our love for this team sport. We hope that clubs around the country andworld will continue to grow and one day we'll create a playground and have aninternational basketball carnival together! Basketball is team sport, andwe will be able to do this if we hold our hands and work together to achieve the same goal. Let's do it before 2034!



2014年5月:MELODY十岁生日! May, 2014: MELODY’s 10thAnniversary!


祝我们的MELODY和篮球的小伙伴们十一岁生日快乐!我们都热爱篮球!


Happy 11th Birthday, our dear MELODY and friends ofbasketball! We all love this game!

以下是MELODY在我们小伙伴们的心中的意义!

Below an extract of what our members feel about MELODY!



2012年6月:MELODY精灵队聚会! MELODY Elves’ Social!

2010年MELODY“我想打篮球”5对5篮球赛! 2010: MELODY “IWant to Play” 5v5 Basketball Tournament!


MELODY对我来说不仅仅是我的爱好和追求,也是我参加活动,打败自己惰性的运动方式。由于我的坚持,使不爱运动的女儿潜移默化地每天坚持参加学校的篮球比赛,从高中起才开始练习的她的球技突飞猛进。也让儿子从喜欢单人运动的项目也爱上了打篮球这个项目。MELODY还让我坚持自己的梦想,给我们家的改变很多,我们现在全家出门,我成了最爱的那个人。(我有1.76米,除了我母亲:p)而且我也有很多伤病,但是锻炼后,反而能暖解一些。而且如果那天锻炼后,我就感觉我能战胜一切工作上的困难,工作也轻松,抗压能力增强,生活中碰到一些挫折,那都不是个事儿!



2011年MELODY“我想打篮球”5对5篮球赛!2011: MELODY “IWant to Play” Basketball Tournament!


MELODY means another home to me. The magic trick isthat I don’t even know some of the girls’ real names, but I still put my trustin them and rely on them on the court. I feel relaxed to hang out with the teamafter my work hours and always look forward to attending the two hours trainingevery weekend.



2010年10月:MELODY“只有女生”3对3篮球挑战赛! October, 2010: MELODY “Ladies Only” 3v3 Basketball Tournament!


MELODY带我进入了篮球的世界!


MELODY是我留在上海生活的动力之一!

MELODY让我觉得不管几岁不管在哪里,都可以有一个可以人性的爱好!



2006: MELODY赛后集体照!MELODY Post-Game Group Photo!


MELODY对我来说是成长,相识十年,我与MELODY聚少离多,但回归MELODY依旧亲切!


MELODY对我来说是一盏灯,指引我勇敢地找到我自己,找到那个家!



2005年:MELODY早期比赛! 2005: A Friendly Game in the Early Yearsof the Club!


MELODY对我来说就是一群好基友诞生的地方!可能没多少人还记得我,但是这辈子,MELODY带给我的回忆会永远烙印在心中!


MELODY对我来说是家以外的第二个归属,是我将负能量转化为正能量的秘密基地!



2005年冬天: MELODY溜冰活动! Winter 2005: MELODY Skating SocialActivity!


于我,是多年后重返母校打球的惊喜,是小飞人远走她乡前最温馨的伙伴,而最令人动容的是,篮球,即便是女篮,也会是最激烈角逐的运动,但是所有MELODY队员们却把她演绎成高雅、温和、文明、欢笑不断的每周一乐。我爱MELODY,更爱因为MELODY这个平台而认识的你们!祝:永远的MELODY!



2006年5月:MELODY郊游! May, 2006: MELODY’s Outing!


MELODY对我来说,一开始是一群女孩子可以在一起打球的地方,到后来慢慢变成一种习惯,习惯每个周末训练,习惯小伙伴生日大家一起祝福,习惯那一年一次的篮球之旅。我想随着时间增长,以后会有更多的新鲜元素注入MELODY,我会一起享受一下一起努力一起分享!



2009年11月:MELODY精灵队早期赛中照片! November, 2009: MELODY Elves Photo duringa Game!


MELODY对我来说是分享!

MELODY对我而言就像AC米兰对马尔蒂尼,只要比赛,我只会为MELODY出战!



2009年9月:MELODY参加市里组织的3对3比赛!Took Part in a 3v3 Basketball Tournament in the City!


MELODY对我来说是一个大家庭!MELODY is my part of mylife!



2008年12月:MELODY精灵队赛后集体照!December, 2008: MELODY Elves Post-Game Group Photo!


MELODY让我有了坚持打球的信念,跨越年龄身体和障碍!


十年前,MELODY和我是两条平行线;

十年后,MELODY和我变成两条相交线;

命中注定,终于遇见!
