As the age category started from Under-13, half of NVBS participants were 7-year-old or 8-year-old, or 9-year-old under-9 & under-11 category players. All those young talents were shown their best performance in their league matches. Unfortunately, they were made to participate in the elder age category as compared to their own respective category. But still, under-13 category players of NVBS showed their best performance in their upper age categories like under-15 & under-17 categories by reaching Semifinals & quarter-finals.
NVBS Management & Coaches wished all the participants, winners, young players who participated and performed well in higher categories & the parents who supported those young players to participate in these higher categories. That will give a great experience & motivation for those young talents. Said Manoj Sahibjan.
