In the opening games, teams settled into their rhythm quickly. In Control had a strong start, coming away with an 18–6 win over Shot Callers, while Cherry Bombs also enjoyed a good first outing, beating Moving And Grooving 14–5. It was encouraging to see everyone getting involved and supporting each other on court.

A special mention goes to Mel John from Shot Callers, who was named Most Valued Player of the week. Despite the result, Mel showed great determination and skill throughout the game, highlighting the spirit of the league—where effort, improvement, and teamwork matter just as much as the scoreline.
