Day 10
By Abby Syverson, U17’s team
Today was the tenth day and it was a ton of fun! The 17’s started off the day going into the city while the 16’s started to play. We went to a mall called Europark and shopped for about an hour. We went back to the gym for a little bit to watch the 16’s play and then headed over to a pizzeria. There was a ton of pizza and some girls on the 17’s had seven or eight big pieces!
We had one match left to play today against the Maribor team who were National champions of the Slovenian Youth division. Everyone was pretty stuffed from all of the pizza but we pulled off a win anyways. The 16s also did well today as they beat Maribor, but lost to the Czechs, so they were 1-1.

Tonight for dinner we had a barbeque with all of the teams and coaches in the tournament. There was chicken, pork, German hot dogs, Slovenian sausage, homemade pasta and all different kinds of cookies. Everyone stuffed themselves for the second time of the day. While we ate, some people played beach volleyball while others mingled and talked with girls from the other team. At the end, every team was awarded a trophy, the 17s were undefeated and got first place, while the 16’s were second.

At the end of the day we all went to a Latin club in Maribor called Bongos that was opened just for us. We danced with each other, some of the girls from the other teams and some friends that they brought. It was soooo much fun!!
