After a year of preparation, the team finally left Southern Maryland today, headed for the World Games! A large crowd of family and friends sent the team off with lots of loud cheering.
For family and friends, here is the latest update on the team's schedule tomorrow:
8am Wake-up
8:30am Breakfast
10am Light training session
1pm Lunch
2pm Leave for airport
4pm Flight departs
9:30pm Land in Shannon, Ireland
12:30am Depart Shannon for Rhodes, Greece
5:00am (12 noon Greece time) Land in Rhodes
Leaving Home! Go Team USA! |
The squad then arrived at the TEAM USA hotel, where they received yet another pair of shoes for the turf fields in Greece, thanks again in part to our friends at Rockville Soccer. Then the guys were greeted by the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders, the Baltimore Orioles mascot, and well wishes from many of the pro golfers competing at the US Open in Washington this weekend! After a dinner for the whole American delegation (where the guys all had to wear the best-looking shorts we were given), the guys went back to their rooms for their last night's sleep in America!
At the hotel...love the shorts, guys! |
