STRAIGHT TO WORK
The team embarked on a 10-day camp. The field is located at the Chula Vista Elite Athletes training centre. The facility is a state of the art athletes training centre with fields, courts, gyms, tracks and more servicing and housing thousands of athletes per year.
FUN ON THE BEACH
When the water guns don’t work and you need to fill an afternoon with a team bonding competition, look no further than the volleyball training centre.
When the water at the pitch doesn’t work… try a new sport 🏑🏐 #servingupsomefun #day3
