6月18日 ヨーロッパキャンプ Day 24 28度
チャチャック14歳以下の予選が9時からスタート。12歳の選手達にとっては年上の選手たちにチャレンジの大会だ。それぞれ必死に戦った。各試合良い内容の試合になったが勝ちに結びつけた選手はいなかった。13歳のデーモンは順当に予選2回戦に駒を進めた。
夕方ベオグレードからボシュココーチがチャチャック入りして長嶋コーチと米沢はパンチェボへ12歳以下の選手達と戻った。久しぶりの“我が家”に皆楽しそうにしている。チャチャックからは高速道路を使わずに山道を通りそしてベオグレードの町を抜けてドナウ川を越えてパンチェボに着いた。ミニバンの中では2週間で家族のように仲良くなった仲間たちと楽しい時間を過ごしていた。
This week we are playing Cacak Open U14. Everyone who played U12 in Cacak played today. Every one played a good match but nobody managed to win from U12s . They both played good matches.
Damon was in his good form and won easy today. He is going to play the 2nd match tomorrow.
In this tournament Ken and Ryo who did not get in the draw in U12s played this morning. They both played well. They are getting used to the red clay courts even though they lost their matches. After the matches we left for Pancevo to play a tournament while Damon stayed in Cacak with Bosko.
In the minivan on the way to Pancevo we drove thru the country side of Serbia. It was a nice ride in the beautiful landscape. Everybody was happy to back in Pancevo house. Milka and Milo welcome us so much. The dinner was waiting for us so that we ate as soon as we arrived.
Lukas, Yusuke and Haru had a easy day today. They practiced in the morning and took easy in the afternoon. They looked very happy to see other kids came back to the house.
