What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. Stephen King. This embodied what the C team was all about they were not necessarily the most talented group of young men, but they worked so hard that it was difficult to not be recognised and selected for higher teams. The team’s results do not reflect how hard they worked or how much they improved. There is a great work ethic and enthusiasm to get better amongst the U14 basketball players as is evidence by the number of boys who chose it as a sport despite never having played basketball before. Now that the fundamentals are in place it will be interesting to see if the players keep up the same work ethic and intensity while displaying the obvious enjoyment of the sport as they move through the age groups.

J.M. Barrie This group of boys became more competitive as they grew to love the game. They even committed themselves to practicing more and got a few games on the indoor courts, which they appreciated and felt privileged to have enjoyed. Despite being the lowest teams they still felt part of the basketball family and could be seen supporting the other teams and were very vocal when watching the first team play. Hopefully this year has been the start with a lifelong enjoyment of basketball as players and fans.
