SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA (November 2002) - Slammers coaches Walid Khoury, Ziad Khoury, Fabian Cerutti and George Larsen used their three-night hotel minimums as four teams made it to Sunday and took home Surf Girls Cup Championships. The four coaches roamed in a pack from field-to-field guiding their GU11, GU13, GU14 and GU15 teams to a combinedSlammers Teams Go Undefeated 17-0-3 record while outscoring opponents 41-3. The best thing about the weekend according to players . . . "getting sideline support from other Slammers teams, and the Nike championship jerseys, of course." Thanks to Mike Connerley, Mick Dawson and their tournament staff for giving us another top-notch event.
