2022 Yale University Invitational
Congratulations to all of our teams who travelled all the way to Connecticut to compete at Yale! This was a tough tournament with a lot of great competition from all over the US and Canada. In person tournaments are more challenging than online in a variety of ways- they run a tight schedule, require more interpersonal communication skills, and hold you to a higher standard with judge engagement. Please join me in congratulating some of our achievements this weekend.
Thank you all so much for your support. Seeing your encouraging messages throughout the tournament is so heartwarming- the investment you have in the team is integral to our success. I am so proud of all of our kids. Every single competitor this weekend successfully competed at an in person tournament despite all of the challenges they faced transitioning from online. I am so honored to be a part of this team. Congrats, VDA Family!
