hey guys...i was wondering if anyone else got something to become a "People to People Sports AMbassador"? To Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji? I have received something like this last year, but never looked further into it. Anyone know anything about this? i'd appreciate it
thanks

Goodwill Baseball Series, Australiz in December. Google the website. It's good baseball coached by scouts run by Bob Williams, a decent, knowlegeble baseball guy/former pitcher.

I would second Dryspit on this one. Goodwill Series is the way to go, if competitive baseball is what you seek. The people to people organization is not really designed to attract top athletes. My Son got back from the Australia trip early January, and had an awesome time.

Bob is designing the Goodwill Series this December 2008 a bit differently and geared to handle to increased demand. It is very competitve baseball and provides for a good family experience, too. Want more info? Reply to this and I'll share.

Hey DrySpitter - I would very much like to learn more about the Goodwill Series. What ages are involved? How are the players selected?, etc.
I just happened upon this doing some research on People to People, so don't check it regularly. If you wouldn't mind, please send any info you have to my email - pbrewer99@gmail.com
Thanks in advance!

I went to Holland in 2006 with People To People Sports Ambassadors. We played The Chezch Republic Junior National Team, German JO Team, and alot of all star teams from Europe(Holland,France,Belguim,Germany,Poland) and the competiton was top notch. Even the French team was very good(fundamentally sound).
One thing about teams in Europe. There is more bunting involved. You better be on your toes!!!!
PM me for more Infomation

My son has been getting a bunch of "people to people" stuff and it appears to me to be a big money maker for those involved with the program. Sports, and all kinds of other programs they are selling. I would be very, very cautious and check them out first.
