Summer Tournament Reminder

We have an excellent opportunity to get ready for  next year starting now! We are looking to start our 2011-12 season now to better prepare ourselves for the future! This opportunity is for the classes of 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 (incoming Frosh). We are expecting to have 10-15 new players on the varsity next season and this will help give you a big boost in preparing yourself for the season. Please get back to me by May 15th so I can register the team in the two June tournaments....space is filling up fast and they are holding spots for us.

Also, the Booster Club is looking to give back a little REBATE (not sure yet until all bills are paid) for returning players to play in the tournament (s) during the summer. More on this over the weekend. And let us know if you can only play in one and/or two tournaments and box league and other potential opportunities. Please contact me before signing up to make sure we have sufficient numbers for a team.

We will be using the same group that Oregon's Football team is using this summer. This will be intense!!! We will look to fundraise for this as well. I have already spoken to them...they are ready, we just have to set a date!

9.) No out of state spring trip for the 2011-12 year. Our fundraising efforts will be used to offset the Adrenaline Shootout, and the Navy Seals, Marine Training. But, we will look to schedule 1-2 games in Colorado against Colorado competition during our Spring Break Week (schedule/dates should be set by January 2012). I will look to give players a long 3 day  break during Spring Break (just not sure if it will be at the end or the beginning of the spring trip) depending how the schedule works out. We will look to play our 15 games next year against Colorado competition.
