A message to our U16 Team from 2018 Olympian Stephanie Floor #3
Hi guys! Just wanted to say it's so great to see so many new players on the team! Handball can be a lot of fun and can take you all across the world! In order to do that, though, you need to be successful not just in the game but in school and at home. If you get good grades in school and build a connection with your teachers, they will be easy on you when you travel for sports! They want you to succeed and get all the life experience you can get. At home when you listen to your parents and do your feau your parents will let you go to practice.

Most importantly, if you are on the national team and traveling, get to know and welcome everyone else. You become a family and build a strong bond with each other. You'll meet tons of other people that you will compete against, and they too will become your family, and you'll have friends all across the world. Don't take it for granted.

When a local resident looks at our roster they will know that we are a team of local athletes. Our coaches and staff dont go to the USA or other locations looking for athletes or family members. We look and build them right here. Not everyone on our team has American Samoan blood, but they have something more valued, they have American Samoa in their hearts. We pride ourselves on this. We believe in our local athletes and we believe in our coaches. We have great supporting parents and many local supporters. The hurdles we face strengthens our resolve.
