The 12U squad put together an impressive postseason run, earning victories over Coral Springs American, North Springs, and Parkland to reach the final.

The roster included Liam Knockoff, Zayne Russell, Jackson Jorgensen, Leo Muschany, Lucas Arega, Lachlan Beach, Gianni Rubino, Miles Tunink, Michael Hara, Elliot Hara, Chamo Johnson, and Fritz Javel.
