U14/15 TEAM IN KELOWNA

Congratulations to our Synergy U14 Boys' Team for their excellent performance in Kelowna last weekend.  The Team competed in the KMBA Boys' Basketball Tournament that took place on both Saturday and Sunday.  A BIG THANKS to Head Coach Mr. Rhys Waters and Assistant Coach Brody Duxbury!  Coach Waters praised the boys for their play in all four games and their 2 wins - 1 tie - and 1 loss outing.  Although the effort has always been there, the boys' toughness and basketball "IQ" are improving - the more "we" play the game and are exposed to competition outside the Salmon Arm area, the better we will become.  Continue the effort boys - love the game - work hard - compete to win - and have fun!  Coach Waters and I are working on our Home Tournament for June 16th.  We are hoping to attract three outside teams in both the U14/15 level and the U12 level.  Stay tuned!

Future Plans - I would love to see our group of U14 boys go to the Gonzaga Team Camp held in Spokan Washington next June (2013) - something to think about and something to work towards.
