Grand Champions Blue Wins ProKidz Tournament At Grand Champions At Palm Beach Polo Club

Pro polo announcer Toby Wayman gave Grand Champions Blue the nickname "Juan's Angels" during the game.
"It was fun playing the boys team," said Astrada, oldest daughter of Argentine 10-goaler Miguel Novillo Astrada.
"I am very happy, the game was fun playing with girls," Astrada said. "I have played with both Riley and Jacqui. Playing helps me every week. I haven't been playing that much because my horses aren't here and I use my father's horses and he needs them to play in his games."
Astrada said she liked playing with Bollini more than her dad because "he passes me the ball more. My father thinks if he passes it more to me it's not fair because he's my father. Juan saw me and always passed me the ball."

"It was a lot of fun," Casey said. "It's better than when I go fast because the ball is more out there and you're not all bunched up.
"When it's an all-girls team we work together so we all know what to do," Casey said. "I have played with Mia and Riley a lot before so we knew the plays and where to go. We talked a lot so it helped. Juan helped a lot talking to us."
It was the third ProKidz event hosted at Grand Champions at PB Polo. Grand Champions is enjoying its role in helping to develop and promote youth polo by hosting a variety of junior tournaments throughout the year.

The game was live-streamed by Florida-based PoloNow Network which is also pioneering instant replay and team challenges.
