The players, aged 14-17 years, were put through several challenging days of high intensity drills and fitness work, before being placed in teams and competing against one another in a tournament.

Harry was drafted 19th (individual performance rank) for the tournament and proved his worth during game play, helping his team reach the playoffs.

On the final day of the camp, Harry was nominated for the U17 Most Valuable Player. To top it off, he also received the overall ‘Hardest Worker’ award. Harry made the most of a fantastic opportunity and all at BISP congratulate him on a job well done.
