Scheduling Updates

Parents, a few updates.

1. Practice tomorrow night (Friday) from 6-8pm at Shady Grove Middle School.  We were unfortunately unable to secure a gym for tonight so we'll see everyone on Friday.
2. Richmond games on Saturday...the schedule will be released today.  If any parents are unable to make the trip, please let me know so we can arrange car pools.  Stay tuned for another update email with schedule and other details!
3. Winter league games begin on Sunday, December 11...1245pm at Mount Vernon High School
4. NEXT WEEKEND (DECEMBER 17 & 18):
   1. Plans are to play in the Flames Holiday Tournament.  However, we have 2 winter league games scheduled that weekend as well (11:30am and 2:00pm on Sunday), and we are trying to figure out if we should play in the Flames tournament or keep the winter league schedule as is, since we won't be able to do both.
   2. Stay tuned for an update early next week!

Please let me know if your daughter will be unavailable for any of the above.  Thanks!

Important: Change to practice schedule

We just found out that we have been switched to Fridays for our primary weekly practice. Everything else is the same but instead of Thursdays it will be Fridays. 

So it will be Shady Grove MS at 6-8pm on Fridays starting tomorrow (the 2nd). (We will also be at Bowie State University this Saturday, 12/3, from 530-7pm).

 

I just spoke to the county office about it and they confirmed it. Nothing we can do about it. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may pose. We've had Thursday night practices every week since 2007 so it's kind of surprising. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns. 

Thanks,

Asif
