Other than 2 kids, our boys are not doing so good. How come? And why only 22 players?
Only 22 because it cost about $3,500 dollars for a player and parent to go to Argentina. And why aren’t our boys not doing so well? because its a tournament where their are 600 competitors from 16 nations. The USA still with 22 competitors against against nations that sent over 100 players STILL won 3rd place in the overall and are bringing back to the USA that trophy. It took a team effort for them to accomplish this. We sent Susan the Pics and surely she will post them shortly.
22 players against almosst 600 and still won 3rd place overall. INCREDIBLE.
