This team will be staying in Suva, Fiji, which is the unofficial capital of the South Pacific. We will be hosting a training camp for both our team and members of the Fiji National Team. Together these athletes and coaches will work together putting on clinics in and around Suva. We will also be hosting other National Teams from a few of teh small island nations in the South Pacific.

Europe   3 weeks starting in July

We are taking this competitive team to Belgium to race in July. It has been several years since we have taken a competitive team to Europe and hope this team restarts that tradition and allows Athletes in Action to have a positive influence on the Eurpoean circuit. Our team will be looking to build relationships with our fellow competitors and starting open discussion concerning how to integrate one's spiritual life into their sport.
