The Kennedy Catholic Varsity Boys' Basketball Team had an international experience this afternoon. The Celts hosted the Youth Sports Exchange basketball team from Belgium.
The Youth Sports Exchange was founded in 1982 by Robert Hubrecht it is a division of the International Athletic Foundation (IAF). Gastgezinnen waren buiten het financieel voordeel, de ideale manier om een interactie tussen de verschillende culturen op te starten. The purpose of the Sports exchange Program is to expose talented players who are not selected for the national teams, to participate in international competition.
There are currently three countries involved in the program, Holland, Belgium, and the US. They host sports including: volleyball, soccer, baseball, and tennis.
While the Belgium basketball team is in Missouri they will also be facing teams from Herman, Brentwood, and Borgia.
The Celts are sending their comrades from Belgium home with a loss. Kennedy brought home a win 99-57.
