We want our girls to be exposed to this level of competition. It's good for building interest, and we have had about a 10 percent increase in sign-ups this year.

The girls trained for a few weeks before the competition, by practicing different techniques.

Hands up, the girls are not taking great form into the competition. But we have taken a gamble by picking those we believe are our best shot-makers and playing them out of position a bit.

This year's competition was strong. It was a good group of girls.

This is an attack against competition, against the interest of consumers.

We've been training for this all season and looking forward to the competition in our district. We have four of the better teams in the Northern Region in our district. We had to train a lot harder.
