On the pavement outside where he works at Sand Creek Station golf course, Carson Hayes takes a break from washing carts and practices his boccia.

The game, almost identical to bocce ball, is taking him to Michigan later this summer to compete in an international competition.

Hayes, 25, is 4 feet 3 inches tall. For the first time, he will represent Team USA at the 2013 World Dwarf Games, playing boccia and table tennis.
