Coach Derek had the amazing opportunity to support Chelsea Whiting and Kyla as they took on Beach Nationals in Toronto. Derek had the pleasure of coaching Chelsea earlier in the summer to help prep her for her time with Team O and for the U18 world Champs. And it was an honor to be asked to help support them at Nationals and getting to be a small part of their huge accomplishment - a National Silver medal at 17u!
Simply put, Chelsea and Kyla are ballers. These two have such a bright future on the beach and it is so exciting to think about what they will continue to accomplish! In their first full summer together, these 16u athletes won a provincial Bronze at 16u and a National silver at 17u! Oh, and they represented Canada at the U18 World Champs! These girls are not only amazingly talented athletes - they are hard-working and high character young women. Proud of you girls!
