September 10, 2010 (San Diego) - If you think that you are too old to be active, you won't find much sympathy from this crowd.

The featured game was a championship in the age 60+ group between the U.S. and South Korean teams. Teams participated in 8-on-8 as well as fully-configured 11-on-11 matches.
