Coach to answer

According to the coach this player is selected as the “youth player of the week”, because he excelled
in the following categories:

Sheldon was very instrumental in the success of the u/13 team losing only once the whole season. He is strong and
a no nonsense central defender, who is very good airily. Barends must still work on distribution though, but definitely still remains another defender for the future. ‘Vasbyt’, there is always room for improvement.
