In the realm where dreams unfold,
Passion and spirit, bright and bold,
A court of perseverance, courage, and might,
United we stand under gleaming lights.
Whispers of "Step up your game,"
Flicker like flames, fleeting and tame,
But from afar they watch, distant and small,
While we dance to victory, answering the call.
Sacred ground on which we tread,
Every dribble, every step, dedication spread,
With each shot taken, greatness pursued,
Never shaken, our iron will renewed.
On the bench they sit, still and quiet,
Daring to criticize our unwavering spirit,
But we paint masterpieces with sweat and pride,
Swiftly gliding, doubts swiftly denied.
Each breath exhaled, intertwines our fate,
With poise and grace, we elevate,
Challenges faced on this very floor,
Like phoenixes rising, higher than before.
So let their cries and wails go unheard,
Our inner fire fierce, never deterred,
Playing heart-first within this space,
Rising above doubters, leaving no trace.
