Tired. That’s the word of the day as Up Top arrived in Washington, D.C. after 24 hours of travel. Our team was more than ready to arrive and check into our rooms. We are staying in a hostel in downtown Washington, D.C., two blocks from the square where they have set up the Street Soccer USA arena (called Kastles Stadium).

After an interesting start to the day, the YouthLink Up Top Street Soccer team was off to the races. KARE -11 showed up in the morning and took video of the youth celebrating their departure. We showed the crew how we get hyped up–Up Top style!
