The sound of crutches clanging against each other is only drowned out by the athletes calling for the ball and coaches yelling instructions. Soon, they hope, fans’ cheers will join that mix.
The U.S. National Amputee Soccer Team fell to Haiti at the Amputee Soccer World Cup. Although the team didn't get the result they wanted, they represented the USA with pride.
The team typically does not train together because it's so difficult for many of the athletes to travel. A recent session was different and there were several players in attendance who had not been there before. It's why team captain Calabria thinks there's potential to grow the team and several regional programs into a certified league with paid players and ticketed games.
It's the goal and another challenge to overcome. Their coach knows, for these athletes, that's part of this game.
