3241 156th Avenue Southeast, Bellevue - (425) 643-6644

Here some some changes: First Practices this week are at Sunset Athletic Club 1pm let me know what may be best we will practice Tuesday at 1pm and will practice each day this week at 1pm unless we need to make a change as required. ( it may be tough with traffic to do it at 9 when I would prefer). Victor amd Mark you guys may want to car pool. I have a camp going on from 10am-1 each day this week.

With us being a bit short handed I have cancelled the tournament here in Portland, with the idea of saving our energy and resources for the Seattle tourney that will have much better exposure and competition. There is a bit of a story behind the decision and several good reasons. I s/w several of the players about it and we are ALL in agreement. The main reason is Portland is 6th-8th of July and Seattle is 9th-11th. I do not feel that we can play 8-10 high intensity games in 4-5 days with the group that we have. There are 2 tourney's here in PDX going on at the same time. The one is a non-NCAA sanctioned event which means D1 coaches can't attend. The other is sanctioned however they are trying to put it together the last 2-3 weeks and I am sure they will not have very many teams 6 or 8 at the 17u level. Questions about it call me.

I need everyone to call me I have some forms I have to fill out that requires birthdays and addresses. 503 875 8281. I look forward to a great Seattle and Las vegas tourney. Please check the blog i will update it with where we are staying in Seattle and when we are leaviing.
