The boys and girls are chosen based on their character, leadership skills and ability to adapt under intense pressure.
There’s far more to do than just mopping up sweat during the game and shagging rebounds during warm-ups. The teens must understand the rhythm and pulse of the game and remember little quirks about each players’ routines.
Others are tasked with running errands for the teams and media crew, weaving through the boisterous and excited crowds while keeping calm and composed. They play a vital role for smooth, uninterrupted gameplay and ensure that the needs of coaches, players and officials are met throughout the game.
