Plans for State and Post Season Opportunities

Conference Qualifiers Were Great!

We were so excited to have full events at East and West Conference Qualifiers - lots of teams and no weather!!! Everything ran so smoothly. Thanks to all our great volunteers and the attention of the teams we were able to finish way ahead of the projected schedule. Now that we know it can be done we expect that same level of professionalism going forward.
