We are so excited about the opportunity for our GBA youth to compete at the international level this summer (2016). Italy has extended an invitation for GBA to participate in friendly competitions while exploring their beautiful culture and way of living. Not only will our participants have the chance to take part in an international athletic competition, they will learn the lessons of acceptance and understanding of an array of different cultures and community perspectives. These experiences will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of these youth and help them build self confidence so that they make wise decisions in the future.
