This year the Boys Global Challenge will see top regional players from Southern California and Northern California competing against European Jr. national teams and top juniors club teams from the north Adriatic region of Europe. The actual Global Challenge Tournament will be contested in Maribor, Slovenia from August 5-10, but this year each American delegation will have their own separate tour prior to opening ceremonies in which they train with and play against European teams in order to prepare for the Global Challenge Tournament.
