MADISON MUDBATH

ONCE AGAIN, I WILL ANSWER TO A POST REGARDING OUR MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO MADISON. THE ONLY REASON A BUS WAS USED LAST YEAR WAS BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH PARENTS GOING, TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE PLAYERS. PLAYERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO A SPECIFIC CAR SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION FOR PARENTS OF PLAYERS. IT IS EVERY PARENT'S CHOICE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT THEIR CHILD TO ATTEND. WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE TEAM. YOU GET TO MAKE THE DECISION ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL PLAYER. IF YOU'VE READ THE POST ABOUT CUB FOODS YOU'LL SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PLACES OUR FUNDRAISING MONEY HAS GONE THIS YEAR. WE WOULD NOT BE SPENDING IT FOR THE BUS; PARENTS WOULD BE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT SEMEKLER@GMAIL.COM OR 612-817-7997. DO NOT WRITE ANY MORE COMMENTS, AS I AM DONE ANSWERING ON THE BLOG.

ADDENDUM~THERE WAS A QUESTION POSTED REGARDING OUR DECISION TO DRIVE TO MADISON RATHER THAN USE A COACH BUS. FIRST OF ALL, THAT IS NOT A DECISION MADE BY THE COACHES, BUT BY THE BOARD. SECONDLY, WE TRIED TO MAKE IT CLEAR IN OUR ORIGINAL POST THAT WE WOULD BE DRIVING IF WE HAD ENOUGH PARENTS INTERESTED IN GOING. THIS TRIP IS USUALLY DONE AS A DRIVING TRIP. A COACH BUS FOR THE WEEKEND WOULD COST OVER $3000.00 AND WE FELT THAT IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY, WE'D RATHER NOT. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THE TEAM WILL BE FUNDING THE MAJORITY OF THIS TRIP FOR EACH PLAYER, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE TO BENEFIT FROM OUR FUNDRAISING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT semekler@gmail.com

WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION, FOR MADISON, TO CARAVAN WITH PARENT DRIVERS. WE HAVE BETWEEN 8-10 PARENTS TRAVELING WITH US AT THIS POINT AND PLENTY OF SEATS FOR ALL WHO WANT TO ATTEND. FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF ALL THE VARSITY AND JV PLAYERS WHO RESPONDED TO THE EARLIER POST ABOUT ATTENDING MADISON MUDBATH. PLEASE POST IN THE COMMENT SECTION ONLY IF YOUR STATUS HAS CHANGED~IF YOU ARE LISTED AND ARE NO LONGER PLANNING ON GOING, OR IF YOU AREN'T LISTED AND WOULD LIKE TO GO.

If there are any other parents who would like to travel with us who haven't already heard from me, please leave a comment as well and I will contact you. This is a great opportunity to be a spectator at an away tournament without having to go too far away!
