The group at Gately!

Hello!

I wanted to give a final update before the summer concludes.  After finishing up with ITA, I headed down to Baltimore for 3 days of tryouts for the National Team.  Close to 90 young women tried out for 36 spots on the team.  The tryout was extremely competitive, and I am very proud to say that I earned a spot on the team for the 2010-2011 "season!"  We will first play together at the Stars & Stripes Weekend in Boston over Columbus Day Weekend in October.  Following that, we will have a practice weekend together in November and then will play at the Champions Challenge at Disney World in January.

Thanks so much again to everyone who helped out with this project: To BB&N, Shady Hill, and Harvard for providing equipment, to the Boston Cannons for providing ITA with tickets, and to Gately, Frisoli, and West Cambridge and everyone there.  This has been a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging learning experience.  Many thanks, most of all, to Amory and ITA for letting me join the roster and setting up such a great program for me.
