Our U14 boys and girls Rotorua teams had a great time at the Rotorua Development Tournament this past weekend.
Our boys started off with some tough games on the first day but then won the rest of their games. They showed huge improvement and Coach Haley was very impressed with their progress as a team.
The girls had a win and a loss on the first day. Their first win helped them get into the crossovers. They won one out of two of their crossover games which got them to get into the top 6. Their last two games were lost with small margins.
Coach Brydie was pleased with their development throughout the tournament especially their strong defence which really forced other teams to work hard to score goals.
Every year the tournament officials choose a group of players who have stood out from across the teams and name the group the ‘Tournament Team’. Raukura from our boys team and Mia from our girls team both made it into their respective tournament teams. Well done Raukura and Mia!
A big thanks to everyone who helped make this trip possible for both the boys and girls and also a big thank you to Rotorua Waterpolo for organizing the tournament!
