Typically, we have our kickoff luncheon and pictures the same time, every year. Due to club coaches scheduling tournaments/showcases during high school season, we are now needing to accommodate players and change our schedule.

With the overwhelming amount of players that will be attending the Disney Showcase in January, we are moving our Kick Off Luncheon/Pictures. They will now be on Saturday, January 25th. Lunch will be from 11-12:30. Pictures to begin at the stadium at 1:00pm

Not attending practice on Friday, 1/17 and/or Monday, 1/20 is NOT an option. Make your travel arrangements around practices. If you are missing BOTH of these practices, the player needs to talk to Coach Gross.

REMINDERS

We will have one more conditioning session before we leave for Winter Break. Conditioning will be Tuesday, after school, at the stadium.

We have an upcoming Spirit Night with Zaxby's Dallas Highway. Tuesday, December 17th, 5-8pm. DINE IN ONLY. Please attend and spread the word!!

Lastly, ALL advertisement agreements/payments are due by Friday, December 20th. They need to be mailed to Aimee DeFrank: 350 Julia Drive, Powder Springs, GA 30127. Over the winter break she will be making sure we have all logos, etc so they are linked on our webpage/scoreboard and are ready to go for our season. Any questions, please email Aimee at adefrank@att.net
