The USBF Board has approved the Under 16 ("Kids") team for the 2016 World Youth Teams Championship. All 6 plaeyrs on the U16 team played in the U21 division at the 2015 Junior USBC, 4 of them on the Hu team and the other 2 on the Koppel and Zhan teams. They are:

Suzanne Campbell - Rory Xiao
Michael Hu - Arthur Zhou
Cooper Smith - Kunal Vohra

Because the 6 players didn't compete on one team in Atlanta and we didn't know which 6 players would be selected for the Under 16 team, we don't have a team photo, but we do have a photo of the Hu team, which includes the two players who are too old to compete in the U16 event, and individual snapshots of Cooper Smith& Kunal Vohra :

Good Luck to the USBF's first-ever Under 16 team in Salsomaggiore this summer!

Congratulations to the Herman team, who won the Under 26 USA2 Final in convincing fashion, 197-117, and to the Soukup team, whose final margin of over 100 IMPs was even more impressive. Good luck to both teams in Italy next year!

The Soukup team will add a pair and represent the USBF in the Damiani Cup competition (players under 21)
