2 Days till opening day of West Asia Tournament

As we get ready to open up are first game this friday night in West Asia games. I came across a great quote and I will like to share it with everyone.“Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision.Muhammad Ali, American Boxer ” Samd13

Last Day in Spain

We are coming down to our last day of camp here in Spain. Camp went very well, we finished the camp  3-2.
