We are now preparing for the annual Christmas journey to the land "down under".

We have 2 teams this year. The Rays coached by Pro Scout - Jake Wilson and the Cubs coached by Cubs scout Charles Aliano.

The Rays is an '18 and under' team will several players who will be strong drafts in 2009.

During the 2 weeks and 24 games, we will report to the player's preferred college programs the "make up"and abilities of each player. "They will be tested" by the Australian competition. It will be over 90º. Twelve [12] pro scouts observed each game.

The games are played in Perth, Western Australia and Adelaide, South Australia. The WA State State team won the National Tournament last year. South Africa is joining the Goodwill Series this year.
