The U13 Girls train with the current U12 Girls as part of an advanced session. Any individuals that are continuously impressing are given the chance to train with the U14's advanced group. There are a number of exceptional players in the current U13 squad that are constantly striving to achieve their best and develop into a complete athlete. Their attitude as well as their technical ability is what makes this group stand out as keen learners and great assets to UFSA.
