Advanced Sponsorship

I was feeling refreshed when I arrived at Catherine's house that Sunday. She'd cancelled our training the day before because her team was taking part in Vancouver's junior varsity basketball tournament, which had given me a much needed day off....

Backroom Deals

I was already a bit tired when I got into the back of the car. Catherine and I had played a bit late that Saturday, and the dinner with Mr and Mrs DeMille had been anything but relaxing. My stomach already felt a bit uncomfortable as I started doing up...

Benefits of Additional Training

It was almost a surprise when the others started showing up again. Catherine and I had been playing together for a good two and a half months, almost every evening. In January, things kind of slowed down a bit as Catherine tried out for her school's...

Basic Sponsorship
