It has received official recognition from governments in the United States and Canada, and more recently has been observed in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It began as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, while in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom it is observed in October. Black History Month was first proposed by black educators and the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. The first celebration of Black History Month took place at Kent State one year later, from January 2 to February 28, 1970. Six years later, Black History Month was being celebrated all across the country in educational institutions, centers of Black culture and community centers, both great and small, when President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month in 1976, during the celebration of the United States Bicentennial. He urged Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history".

FEBRUARY 15, 2021 VOL. 5 ISSUE 1 BELLES COACHES FAVORITE ‘LOVE’ MOVIE PLAYLIST FEBRUARY 15, 2021 VOL. 5 ISSUE 1 MARYLAND BELLES 2027 DEFEATS FALLS CHURCH 71-0 The winter season tested the patience of the Maryland Belles 2027 team, as multiple leagues and tournaments had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. In late January, we were able to join the Middle School Basketball League at The St. James sports complex in Springfield, VA, opting to play up one grade in the 7th grade-competitive division. To say the girls were excited to finally play a game is an understatement. After waiting for months, on January 23 they came out with incredible energy. Three players scored in double figures, led by Naomi Koldobskiy with 23 points. Ifee Umeh controlled the glass with 9 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds. Calia Carter led in assists and Kayden McDaniel played smothering defense, leading in steals. The final score in the win was 71-0. It was a joy to see the girls moving the ball and playing unselfishly, and we expect great things from this group as they gain experience playing together. FEBRUARY 15, 2021 VOL. 5 ISSUE 1 MONTHLY TIP FROM MD BELLES 2028 COACH STAN #1 QUIT MAKING EXCUSES – Every time you step on the court, believe that you are the best at your position. Instead of thinking about what everyone else can do better, think of all the strengths that you have. “She’s bigger than me, but I am quicker!” Work on not letting her catch entry passes into the post so you don’t have to play defense behind her. “She is really good at going right and making right handed layups.” Force her left every time. “I’m not shooting 3’s well.” Drive in and finish under the rim and possibly get fouled. “My teammates don’t look to pass it to me.” Crash the offensive glass every time to get second chance shots for yourself and your team. There is nothing worse than coaching a player that has an excuse for everything. You won’t hear a coach or trainer complain about a player that leaves the gym having given it their all even if they had a tough game. #2 GO AFTER EVERY REBOUND – When in doubt, box out! You will have days when your shot just isn’t going in. You will have days when you have more turnovers than normal. But you can NEVER be off when rebounding. Rebounding is understanding some fundamentals and giving your best effort. Make it a goal to go after every rebound. And if you don’t get it, make sure the person you’re guarding doesn’t either. It’s easy, and it not only gets you second chance opportunities on offense, but it can also make playing defense a little easier. Coaches love players that can rebound! #3 DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET DIRTY – There are 2 meanings to this. The first is to get on the floor for loose balls. If there is a 50/50 ball, don’t let your opponent out hustle you for it. Dive for the ball, show some passion, and play with heart! A lot of women college coaches talk about the type of girl basketball players that they recruit. Like me, some are not the most talented, they are the ones who have passion for the game, is a good team player, and out hustles everyone else. Coaches know that they will not only get a work horse on the court, but they will see the same type of work-ethic off the court. This is HUGE because, no coach wants to recruit a player that can’t consistently perform in the classroom. There is nothing that gets the crowd and your team more pumped up than seeing some all-out hustle from a player. Getting dirty also means showing the other team that you’re going to try to win at all costs.
