Today is Wednesday June 24th, 2009 (201 hours and 10 minutes until we leave). The Maccabi Futsal Team will arrive in Philadelphia sometime on July 2nd before 5:00pm. The team is made up of guys who are between the age of 21 and 33 (Sergio is the oldest player on the team and hes the coach) from California, Texas, Ohio, New York, Virginia, Washington, and North Carolina.
Most of us have met each other in Florida this past December. But a few of the team members have never met anyone. This will be the first time the entire USA team will get to meet our brothers we will be going into battle with. We will be playing teams such as Estonia, Argentina, Brazil and Finland who, I am sure, have had a chance to play together for more time then we have.
To try to get a head start on training we have called for our first Futsal Training session to be held in the Philadelphia airport at 6:30 pm. It is my goal, that by the time we play our first game in the competition we will have 50 to 60 hours of training together. We will be ready to take on the world and bring home a gold medal.
**I will make a point of updating this everyday with pictures and notes from every member of the Futsal team. We will keep everyone posted as to what is happening in, on and around the team.**
