Our Junior Boys played 3 games at the Holiday Tournament at Courts for Sports
Our Junior Boys played 3 games at the Holiday Tournament at Courts for Sports, although they did not advance to the next round it was a great experience to play against teams around the city. Most importantly it is another form of outreach so other communities can see that Muslim kids are like any other American kids, which is the real intent of this. 

The next external tournament will be the MLK Tournament January 19-20th. We would like to get more ICGC teams participate this time so more kids get a chance to play. We will work with the coaches to put this together and will provide details after the New Year.
