And the U13 boys have kept a completely clean sheet this season They have not lost a single match, despite some stiff competition from VIS, TSIS, BCB and LFIB. The boy’s energy, teamwork and good communication on the court is what set them apart from other teams Their twiceweekly practices, which focused on dribbling, shooting skills, and overall
