Coach Martins said, “We are excited for our U12 Paradise Hitters volleyball team to travel to Boston for their upcoming tournament, marking an exciting opportunity for the group to showcase their growing skills outside of Bermuda.
This year, five of our girls will be returning to compete, having gained valuable experience from traveling to last year’s tournament. We’re excited to see how they’ve grown and to watch them lead the way for the rest of the team, many of whom are traveling to an overseas tournament for the first time.
This tournament is about more than just volleyball, it is about the experience, the friendships, and the confidence these girls will gain from stepping outside their comfort zones and competing on a larger stage. We couldn’t be more proud of them.”
