Girls 16’s start today at AAU
- Updated: June 23, 2016
Orlando, Florida – The Pilipa’a 16’s begin play this afternoon in the 16U division of the 43rd Annual AAU National Championship. The girls arrived in Florida on Monday afternoon and have had a few days to settle in to the 6-hour time difference
We had our first and only practice yesterday afternoon at Orange County Convention Center. We were able to put together a quick one-game scrimmage with a team from Puerto Rico. It was a great opportunity to get some game experience prior to starting the tournament and a great opportunity to connect with new friends.
The girls face TAV Houston 16 Silver at 4pm (10am HST), A5 Mizuno at 5pm (11am HST) and Cincinnati Volleyball Academy 16 Elite at 7pm (1pm HST). We’ll try to get scores posted tonight, but that will depend on what time we get back to our team house after dinner.
