USATT ANNOUNCES YOUTH NATIONAL TEAMS FOR 2017-18
July 14, 2017 (Colorado Springs, CO) – USATT High Performance Director Joerg Bitzigeio announced today the roster of players for USATT’s 2017-18 Youth National Teams. Selections were based on the order of finish from the team trials events at the 2017 Supermicro National Championships which concluded last Saturday in Las Vegas, NV.
“After my first week in the USA at the Nationals observing our young players, I was positively surprised with the level of play from our younger athletes during the National Team trials,” commented Bitzigeio. “I can see opportunities for them, but we also need to be aware that it is a very long and hard way to the international top level, which should be the long-term goal.”
Please note that players “aging off” respective National Teams will be replaced in accordance with the 2017-18 Youth National Team procedures published on USATT’s website, www.usatt.org.
