Last summer I took my son to the canam cup in Muskegon . Who knew you could have so much fun watching A motors all weekend. What a great group of people the US team is too.
Dan,
It was great having you there and we are REALLY hoping Trevor will try out for the team this summer.
A note to others, the U.S. team is looking for Juniors (flyers under the age of 18). A significant number of our Junior team members have "aged out" so we need new Juniors. The flyoffs to make the team will be held in Muskegon, Michigan this summer the first weekend of NARAM.
If you have a child, or know of one, who you think might be interested in trying out for the team, please contact me through a PM here on TRF. Myself and other team members can definitely get your Junior up to speed before the flyoffs.
The next World Championships will be in Krakow, Poland during late August 2018.
As a father of a former Junior I can tell you quite honestly that NOTHING compares to being on the U.S. Team. The Juniors represent their country in real international competition, they make wonderful lasting friendships with kids from all over the world, and they have something incredibly impressive to put on their college applications (which is REALLY helpful when it comes to applying for scholarships). There is nothing you can send your child to, or trip you can take them on, that compares to being on this team.
As I always told my daughter, Emma, "you win just by getting on the team. The prize is that you get to go to Europe and fly model rockets."
