A group of people, primarily young athletes, are gathered on a sports field, some dressed in uniforms consisting of navy blue and red colors. In the background, there are several red-brick buildings and blossoming trees, suggesting a springtime setting. A goalpost can be seen, indicating that this is likely a game of soccer or lacrosse. The scene is lively and bustling with activity.

Two young people wearing orange shirts with 'YOUTH' printed on the back sit together on a sports court, viewed through a black netting. The court is blue, and one of them has a leg stretched out while they appear to be engaged in conversation or rest.
