VFW

Dear Force Parents,

We are approaching the November SEYO Board Meeting next week for placements of teams. As you already know our coaches put many hours each week planning and scheduling for the future of our team. We wanted to get your opinion on a few items that we have discussed. First, it appears the best situation at this time is to play in the 5th grade gold division. Although we might be better than most teams in this age group we really need to concentrate on our press break as well as our full court press. By moving up to 6th grade  we would lose one whole year of experience in pressing and breaking the press. We also will have a difficult time playing down at our 5th grade level in tournaments if we were to play in 6th grade this season. The FOR Victory was faced with the same situation last season and they elected to play up a grade. They were only able to play at their own grade level in their own FOR Tournament and our VFW Tournament. Please let us know any comments or concerns.

We also would like everyone to check your schedules as we are trying to put together the tournament schedule for 2008.

Tentative schedules are:

March 2008 - SASF (Sacramento),

April 2008 - WLA

May 2008 - FOR and Tigers

June 2008 - Central Cal Cobras (Fresno) (optional)

July 2008 - Jets

August 2008 - Dodgers (Las Vegas), Bruins (optional)

October 2008 - VFW

Please let us know if you have any questions, thanks.

Mark
