Superbowl Sunday Practice 2/2

Hurtems,

As I do every year, I'm planning on holding practice on Superbowl Sunday.  This year, the facilities people have asked us to move up our practice to 5-7pm @WJH.

If a few of you want to figure out how to get the game playing in some capacity in the structure, I would be okay with that.

Just wanted to get the word out since this is an unusual Sunday, and an irregular time for practice.

Thanks!
Erin

JV Carpooling

Sorry parents,

We're not sure who is available to drive tomorrow.  With these last minute, a-team-dropped, kind of situations, logistics are...well...imperfect.

JV Junior and Senior Hurtems - please post in the comments if you can drive, and how many people you can take.  Example: Erin can drive, me +3.

Everyone else playing JV tomorrow - if your parent can drive, please post in the comments and indicate how many people you can take.  Example: Erin's mom can drive, me +3.


I will send along assigned carpools for Lindbergh.

Things to remember:
The Waiver - linked in the sidebar
Snacks - this tournament will not be providing food, bring what you need
Warmups - please wear warm clothes, as you may have to park several blocks away
Cleats - this is turf, gentlemen!
A White (not grey) and a Blue/Black (not grey)
A reusable water bottle
$ - Greyduck typically has merchandise

JV PLAYERS PLAYING IN GREY DUCK TOURNEY

Please meet in the Lindbergh parking lots at 9:40am on Saturday morning. To play in the tournament, you need to have a waiver signed by a parent if you under 18. If a parent cannot drop you off at Lindbergh to sign the waiver, please try come to my house today to pick one up. Text or call me at 612-280-7188 for my address. Thanks
-Braden

Erin's note: the waiver is also HERE

JV IS IN!!!!

We found out tonight that a spot opened up for JV at the U of M tournament this weekend. This is a Saturday only tournament and starts at 11 am. There will be a sign up genius for it up sometime tomorrow. More info to come.

The SIGN UP for this event includes both the Varsity and JV information.
All players need to have a completed WAIVER

Driving Policy:
- Whenever possible, parent driven carpools are preferred
- This tourney will follow our policy for State at NSC: Juniors and Seniors may drive*
- Under no circumstances may JV players ride with a Varsity player.
- There is street parking near the facility, there are also a few pay ramps nearby.

*Technically, Sophomores can drive with permission from their parents, and can take passengers if those passengers also have approval from their parents...but we have 2 days to mobilize and that's a lot of approval to get.  If we have enough drivers between parents, seniors, and juniors, then no sophomores should drive.
