BORP Power Soccer Head Coach Chris Finn is traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as head coach of the US National Power Soccer Team to compete in the COPA America Cup May 2-4. Team USA will be competing against Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Canada and Australia. The team consists of six athletes from around the country, and two coaches. Coach Finn has lead the US national team since 2006 and guided the USA to championships at the World Cup in 2007 and 2011. This past year he coached the US Under 18 National Team to a championship at the inaugural under 18 international tournament. The COPA America Cup will be Coach Finn’s fourth and last (for now) tournament as the head coach for the national team as another coach was selected to lead the US at the 2015 World Cup.

With the new power soccer specific wheelchairs the US has a much more dynamic passing game and will look to get everyone involved. Good luck, Coach Finn and go Team USA!
