The 2020 season features several international competitions, including the Pingtan Beach World Series Open in China. This event has been particularly successful for the USA, with a gold medal in the men’s division and a silver medal in the women’s division in 2019. Other potential locations for international competitions include The Netherlands, India, Lanzarote (Spain), and the United States.
While all athletes are encouraged to attend the training camps, those wishing to represent the USA in international tournaments must participate in one of the three training camps or designated International Event Qualifiers (IEQ) prior to selection.
