Hi all - This meant for USA. News about Juniors/C-D level teams at Nationals:
-Roger Bacon will send 1 or 2 teams of Juniors with 1-2 adults each.
-USA Male U19 team will play as a team. 8 of 11 players will attend. 3 reinforcements will be added (only 1 adult).
(FYI: the U19 team will compete in "Age groups" World's in August in Spain).
-San Francisco Kids program will send an underage team with 8 12-16 year old players plus 2-3 adults.
I was hoping to encourage those in the fences to form:
-More Junior/adult teams!
More "any age" teams at this level. Based on what I heard from Nationals last year in Minneapolis, I am assessing the level to be around that of these 6 teams below. So Chicago's old schoolers, Minnesota full looners and Denver's oyster's: This email is for you. If you cannot make all the three teams again, get on to contact each other to make at least 2.
I would "happy" (ok, happy is a stretch, but I'd do it) to serve as hub for forming teams for this level. I already heard from two players looking for a team. So if you are interested in playing at Nationals in the "bottom of the C" or the D division, and don't have a team, I would try to help out. You could also contact folks from these three teams I mentioned too.
C7 | RB Varsity Team |
C8 | Old School Chicago |
D1 | SF Sea Lions |
D2 | Full Loons |
D3 | Rocky Mountain Oyster |
D4 | RB JV Team |
So c'mon, form the teams and get your flights for LA this week!
Cheers,
Gus
