We will plan to have practices around the state all through the FS season until Fargo in late July. If you would like to have a practiced in your area and you have a practice facility, please call Coach Ed at 316-259-5399 to arrange. We had a great practice today in Wichita. We have 3 areas in Southeast KS and we will try to have a practice down there every month –May, June, July. We have practice in Wichita every Tues and Thurs night from 6-8pm. Everyone with a USAW Card is welcome. There are practices going on in SW KS. If you need further assistance with locating a practice in that area, please call Coach Ed and he will hook you up with someone. There are practices in the NE at various locations. If you don’t know where to practice in the NE, please call Coach Jason Ogden at 785-663-9608. We have some wonderful practices going on throughout the state. DON”T MISS OUT! Call Someone! Coach Lance Engel also has a FS practice in McPherson. If you are close to MAC, call Coach Ed and he will hook you up with the MAC team.
FARGO ISSUES – High School Girls Only
We have received word from Terry Steiner the Women’s Coach for the Olympic/ World Team. He will be offering a camp the week before Fargo up in Fargo for the woman that are competing in Fargo. We need to make a decision quickly on how we want to proceed in this matter. What you need to know is that the camp will run from July 15, 2007 through the end of the competition on 07/24/07. This will mean traveling up there on Saturday, 07/14/07 and staying in the dorms with room and board provided for the entire time and returning home on 07/25/07 or 07/26/07 depending on transportation. The cost of the camp and all room and board will be $500. THIS WILL NOT INCLUDE THE TRANSPORTATION OR THE CLOTHING PACKAGE FROM KS. My point in asking this is this…what do you want to do? This will be a great opportunity. Coach Brooke Bogren as stated that she can go up with the girls and stay with them for the entire stay. We will have to figure out how we can fundraise some of this money because I am sure this will be too high for the girls to pay. I know it will be at least $300 more on top of the camp. The state may be willing to fund some but we will need to do a fundraiser and the more we make the less you will have to pay. I need to know people’s preliminary feelings about this idea. If you want to do it, I need to reserve a spot.
WHAT DOES MS. JENNI NEED? I NEED EVERY HS GIRLS WITH AN INTEREST IN COMPETING AT FARGO TO CALL, WRITE OR EMAIL ME BY 04/30/07.
Well, that is the news for now. Keep watching the website and please post on the talk forum what you are doing each week. We will be going to some tourneys in the area and you are welcome to come along. If enough girls sign up, I can usually get the tournament
director to put in some all girl brackets. Let me know where you will be competing so we can get other girls to attend. We will be attending pretty much all of the tourneys on the USAW KS websites calendar.
