Continuing to build our program, we have entered a team of Bermudian students in the 2008 ILF World Championships to be held in Coquitlam, BC, Canada from July 3-12. I will make a good effort to update this blog daily with news and happenings from Vancouver. I’ve got a lot to do up there, but I’ll at least update on game days with final scores and game summaries.
The game schedule is: (Pacific Standard Time; 4 hours behind Bermuda)
July 3 12:45pm vs. Finland
July 4 9:30am vs. Wales
July 5 10:45am vs. Germany
July 6 11:15am vs. Scotland
July 7 10:45am vs. South Korea
July 8-10 These will be the play-in/placing games. We won’t know our schedule for these until all our games have been played and we are seeded against the competition.
July 11 off day
July 12 Championship Game
Most countries build from the ground up: a youth program, high school teams, then a men’s league. In Bermuda, a different world, we do things the way we want and that’s that. We started with the men, got a few U19’s interested, next we’ll build the youth.
My next post will describe my plans for learning how to build a national ATHLETE. What will it take to mold a former NCAA athlete back into top form to compete at the men’s international lacrosse world championships? We’ll find out over the next two years…
