Im just curious as to why no girls where included in this? We have some awsome female players in under 9 and under 11 that weren’t even included. Quite unfair, for the ladie baller trying to better themselves here in BERMUDA! We need to do better to include them all opportunites! Thanks Kappa for including them this year!
