The 9-10 age groups and 11-12 age groups met at Monash Public School in ACT for training on a synthetic surface. Very nice surface. In fact, its the best Noah has ever played on and the best we've seen. This is at a Public School in Canberra.
Apparently most of the surfaces in Japan are synthetic and so this is to get the guys used to playing on this type of surface. Ball plays very true and almost glides along the surface. Makes the ground passing game very fast. Only wish they could spend more time together to get to know each other better as they will face J-League development kids who would play together regularly. Still will be loads of fun and boys will get lots from it.
The boys also got to meet each other and learn each others names and also met their coaches who will accompany them on tour.
