For most of our teams, the athletes come from all across the USA (or beyond). Prior to the trip the coach will connect the group by running a couple team Zooms and setting up a group chat. The purpose of these is to get to know the athletes skills and build the team chemistry and cohesion. However, you will meet your teammates and coaches in person for the first time at your departure airport on the first day of the trip. You will usually have a practice or two before your first contest when we land at your first destination. Some might think that is strange. However, this is the best thing about International travel – it’s unlike anything else you have ever done! It truly is amazing how most of our teams bond and are able to come together and play as a team having met each other at the departure airport a few days earlier.
