The trip was organized by Athena head coach Brynjar Karl, who had dug into his rolodex from when he worked in Alabama to set up coaching sessions with some of the top coaches in the state along with organizing friendly games and tournaments for the girls.

Athena Sports Club prides itself on being able to give its players the best chance to succeed, and this trip was a vital part of that mission, with the girls being able to experience high-level competition in the USA and really get a taste of what life is like for a college athlete. The team was able to visit various Division I schools in the state of Alabama, including UAB, where the team was hosted by Brynjar Karl’s former high school coach, Coach Randy Norton.
