Hi all,

Nationals are over, and while the ladies didn’t get the results on the court they wanted (and deserved), the experience was a highly enjoyable one.

That said, let’s congratulate our ladies and play handball!  In two weeks, the men are going to NYC for a game for NYC Rec and Parks.  (June 12, Queens, NY has been finalized) Let’s put on a show for the kids!

DC Diplomats Women

An intrepid group of nine ladies made the trip from the snow-battered Mid-Atlantic region to Chapel Hill last weekend for the Carolina Blue Cup.  Without a rookie goalie, and little time to practice, it was not known how well the team would play in this event.

Preparing to Play

While the players played very beautiful, skilled handball, the lack of practice time hindered their efforts.  As exhaustion set in, each of the ladies still tried their hardest, despite the many bruises and icepacks being collected.

Fun Will Still Had By All

Still, the ladies enjoyed thier weekend in Carolina, and look forward to more handball in the future!
