Kim Merriam has graciously volunteered to make our game day lanyards this year!  Thank you, Kim!  For those of you new to our team, these very fashionable necklaces will feature your son's photo on one side and the game schedule and roster on the other side.  They are so handy throughout the season!  We should hopefully have them ready by Saturday's game.

PARTY / JERSEYS / SOCKS / HELMET STICKERS

Good evening, Team!!

I am definitely getting excited for our pre-season party on Friday night and upcoming game against Brighton on Saturday!  

PARTY IS ON FRIDAY 8/28 at 8 PM at the Harper Home
1658 South 1820 West, Woods Cross

As we are providing hot dogs and hamburgers, we need an estimate of who is attending.  Boys, parents, and siblings are all invited. As we are having a guest speaker as we have in previous years it really is beneficial for parents to hear his talk as well.  The speaker this year is different from the one we have had in previous years but will be just as awesome!  As a thank you gift, we will be giving him a football for each boy to sign so that will go around most likely during Friday's practice. 

Please click on this link to RSVP how many in your family is attending (including your son) and fill in what you'll be bringing (appetizer / side dish / dessert).  I don't really care what you bring - just whatever is convenient!  



JERSEYS
Should be ready Thursday!  Woot Woot!  (Thank you, Cassy Tingey for spearheading this!).  We will distribute on Thursday night

SOCKS
I picked up socks today.  If you haven't paid me the $5 yet for them, please do so as soon as you can.

HELMET STICKERS
This is an item I overlooked this year when I estimated expenses.  In past years one of our moms (who owns a vinyl sticker business) created helmet stickers of their numbers for our boys at no charge.  However, that family is no longer with our team.  We went ahead and ordered them as she is only charging us $2 per boy.  The numbers on the helmets are extremely helpful during games just to keep track of our boys as the helmet numbers are often more visible than the jerseys on the line. 

My apologies for not outlining this expense initially.  If you can just give me $2 at your earliest convenience, that would be fantastic!  

Some of you paid me $20 for the embroidery and the socks and I have yet to give you $5 in change.  Please talk to me directly if you would just like to receive $3 back in change.  

I will be adhering the stickers on each boy's helmet during Thursday's practice. 

Thank you to those of you that have volunteered to help film games.  We are most grateful!!


As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!

Regards,
Karmel

SportsFilmz DVDs / Need help filming games

Good evening, Team...

Just wanted to update you regarding the SportsFilmz DVDs.

SportsFilmz has shut down their filming services for youth teams.   So, unfortunately we will not have any professional filming services for our games this season.  

In addition to SportsFilmz being a great keepsake for us, they have been extremely valuable in analyzing games to determine areas to improve upon.  

Is there anyone that would be willing to film some of our games or perhaps rotate and take turns?  

Please let me / Dave know...

Thanks,
Karmel
