This weekend was the beginning of the season for us. The Labor Day tournament went well. The prep for it was interesting this year. We spent the summer running boot camp this year although the attendees were small in size the true test about the amount of correction and depth of the items covered could come into play today. Also this summer we spent the time to convert a portion of the front of the school into a concession area that would be used to sell items to help raise funds ...
