Our American BBs are back together in Anaheim to train for the 2011 World Cup!
After the 2011 World League, Reid Priddy, Matt Anderson, Clay Stanley and the rest of their teammates went their separate ways to play for their respective professional club teams abroad. A couple of months later, they are reunited again at the American Sports Centre in Anaheim, California to prepare for the World Cup which will be from November 20th – December 4th.
It’s great to see them again!
We really hope Team USA will finish in the Top 3. Coach Knipe’s squad has not won any tournament since winning the Olympic gold medal in 2008 under Coach McCutcheon’s wings. With Reid, Clay and David Lee as the reliable veterans together with a healthier Donald Suxho, a more muscular Rich Lambourne and a new breed of powerful young guns like Max Holt and Matt Anderson, we have a feeling Team USA will do well in Japan but it’d take a lotttttttttttttttttttttttt of work for them to finish in the top 3 against the world’s best teams like Brazil, Serbia, Cuba and Russia.
Anyways, we’re so lucky to be given the exclusive chance to share these pics taken by Suzie Houseworth of the guys at training.
We don’t know yet the 14 players who will make the final roster and travel to Japan but we’re so happy to see them all together again!
Do You Think Team USA Will Finish in the Top 3 at the World Cup?
