On their way to the Paralympics in London 2012, the USA women sitting volleyball team had a stopover in Spijkenisse-The Netherlands. For 9 days they came to acclimatize and do some training and matches. John Bestebroer organized their stay with a team of volunteers and arranged some sitting volleyball teams to practice. Former Dutch national team men players came over to give the USA women a hard time.  During their last weekend there, the national sitting volleyball team of Germany came  and stayed 3 days in Spijkenisse-The Netherlands. 

The USA team gave a demonstration for children at the International School of Rotterdam in Rotterdam.

The best compliment John Bestebroer and his team got was the question from some players to the head coach of the USA team. "When are we coming back in Spijkenisse because everything was perfect?" Always welcome!

The USA women sitting volleyball team won a silver medal at the Paralympics 2012 in London.
