VFW

Dear Force Parents,

We will be practicing a little longer this Saturday at Valencia HS, originally the practice time was scheduled from 2:30-4:00 p.m. but we will be scrimmaging the 6th grade VFW team (Mike Price's team) from 4:00-4:30 p.m. This will be a good experience since we have not had the opportunity to full court press and to practice our press break other than our own team.

We will use this 30 minutes not only for the full court press but for offense and defense sets as well.

I will also discuss with the boys this weekend on how we will be traveling to the San Francisco Tournament. This will include why we will pack and carry on certain items such as uniforms, shoes, shooting shirts, etc. and why and what we cannot bring such as basketballs, scissors, gatorade, water, etc.  This will be good information for them.

There also was an emergency SEYO Board meeting this week due to the increase of gym fees that the Anaheim School District was imposing starting this December. The current fee is roughly $40 per hour. The increase was to go to $115 per hour, this would have caused a significant increase to every team. The decision for this SEYO season was to not use any Anaheim gyms and move to Garden Grove School District and run all Pee Wee and Midget divisions (including ours) side by side and to only utilize one referee instead of two to result in a break even for all costs for this year. The SEYO board will immediately look into alternate sites to resume the games back to normal for next year.

If you have any questions please let me know,

Mark
