It was wonderful to see the huge improvements the children have made in both their game knowledge and skill development from the beginning of the season.
The YMBA is incredibly lucky to have many highly skilled and dedicated referees, who ensure that the kids are able to take the court and play the game they love each week.
Thanks also to the coaches, scorers, and age group managers who took on the many responsibilities required to allow the competition to run smoothly throughout the season.
