Each year, 12U and 15U local players have the opportunity to represent Team USA in Japan at the IBA Nankyu World Championship. Players try out for a spot on the team and, if selected, travel to Japan to compete against teams from around the world while experiencing Japanese culture and creating unforgettable memories. Just as we welcome international players into St. Louis, our players are welcomed into Japanese host families, giving them the opportunity to experience everyday life and culture in Japan while building friendships that last beyond the tournament.

Tryout dates and information are posted on our Recent News tab.
