Friendly match against Hapoel Jerusalem

On 20 July, our boys played a friendly match of a kind you don't play every day — against a youth team of Hapoel Jerusalem, one of the best-known basketball clubs in Israel.

On the court were players born in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. A game against a team from abroad brings a different style of play, a different language on the court and an opponent who forces you to play faster and smarter.

Another country, another language. The same ball, the same drive. Kids remember games like this for a long time — not for the score, but for the experience, the new friendships and the realisation that they can hold their own against teams from big clubs.

We thank Hapoel Jerusalem for the game and the time spent together. We hope to meet again on the court!
