Lastly, we have been given the green light by Puma the ability to acquire a club corporate jersey sponsorship. What that means is we have the ability to represent any particular business or corporation and their logos will be placed onto our jerseys for a $12000 sponsorship fee. So please, if you know of such, please send them our way and if we are able to accomplish this goal, I have a special surprise for each and every player that I am positive they will surely love!!!

I know I said lastly above, but I forgot to mention that our schedule is complete so if you go to your calendar I have listed the upcoming events and locations that we will be playing in this year. 7 of the 8 are for sure locks, but I am looking for one more tournament for the July 10-13 Live Period. As soon as I lock that in I will update the calendar and send out a message as well. Okay, now I'm done for real. Enjoy the rest of your evening and if you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to type them in the feed here or message me directly.
