2009 Tryout Updates....

Due to a gym conflict with the E-Girls basketball program,

we have to move our tryouts to the week earlier.

I know that it is the opening day of hunting season,

but we can't wait to go the week after the 22nd of November.

That would put us behind everyone else in the country.

The reason we are adjusting for the E-Girls is they adjusted for us in the past.

We need to help each other with the success of our programs.

This will allow player in the club to have a day to focus

on their specific position. It will also allow players that just want

to improve their skills that opportunity.
