S. had a great experience and enjoyed his first season with the Judges Court. This is the first season/organized sport where I have seen him go out and practice on his own consistently and without me mentioning it. On the drives this past weekend, I was happy to hear him say that he wants to play for The Judges Court basketball again.”
