Men’s indoor coach Bill Bucci: “The men’s team is very excited about the upcoming games. We had a very good experience at the US Open recently and are building on the things we learned from competing in that tournament.

“We have players on the team who have been with the program since Bermuda competed in its first Island Games like Jon Gazzard, Mike Gazzard and Gary LeBlanc, plus younger up and coming players.

“Of the 12 rostered players 5 of them are under the age of 23 and have come up through the ranks of the BVA Junior National Team Program: they are Ian Bucci, Brian Amaro, Daniel Fiddick, Joshua Malpas and Eron Woods. Our team is rounded out with Brad Meindersma, Dave Gletsu, Philipp Meihe and Yves Charbonneau.

We have a very strong team and have been training hard since January. We’re looking forward to stepping onto the court and giving each match our all.
