U12s NBL - Away vs Southend Scorpians II - 48:81 Win!

The first time playing Southend Scorpians II saw us lose 35:60. What a turn around and one the opposition did not see coming!

Another great team performance from everyone giving us 2 wins on bounce. Lets see what next week brings as we face a very strong Milton Keynes Breakers II.

We just love seeing the smiling faces of these kids (and coaches!) who have shown such resiliance this season!

U12s Norfolk League - Home vs Norwich Eagles - 31:84 Loss

Despite the loss, our u12 team had a fantastic performance against a strong Eagles team. Our team developed from the great game last week, building on their transition offence focusing on the importance of passing ahead and showcasing some fantastic passing sequences.

Defensively throughout the game some key learning points were developed; stopping the ball in transition and protecting the basket, which all the players worked extremely hard to implement. In addition, the team’s togetherness was displayed continuously throughout the game, with everyone trying to help each other both on and off the court, which was a pleasure to see - well done everyone!

U14s NBL - Home vs Gt Yarmouth - 77:50 Win

A great win against a much improved Gt Yarmouth team. A mix of excellent team work, fantastic defence and good quality offensive plays meant that once Hoopstars got going they weren’t ever going to be beaten.

The next match for this squad is in 2 weeks against Cambridge and looks to be a tough game which the team are working hard to prepare for.
