Important Tournament Details
Coaches,
On behalf of the Border Olympics Tournament Committee, we are extremely excited to have all of you back at The Laredo Country Club for the 2024 Border Olympics. I wanted to take a few moments to update you on the chedule of events as it pertains to this year’s event.
