The Anne de Vriesschool secured the top performance at the annual Sliedrecht Sport School Volleyball Tournament, held on Friday at De Basis in Sliedrecht, where 140 children from groups 4 through 8 participated, hetkompassliedrecht.nl reported.
Tournament Structure and Group Play
Play began with the younger children in groups 4 and 5 before moving on to the matches for groups 6, 7, and 8. Teams played through a series of pool matches, which were followed directly by cross-finals to determine the final standings across all participating grade levels.
