14 U Boys tournament – look for a separate email with the entire day's schedule. We still need volunteers in many areas that day, so look at the schedule and let me know what times you are available to help.
18U boys have a tentative game scheduled at 12:30 pm vs. the Springfield Knights. They are bringing their varsity boys team to play the Jonesboro team, and would like to play two games to make it worth their drive.
Our guys are scheduled to play:
· 9:45 am vs. Mountain Grove (14U team) at Middle School
· 12:30 pm vs. Springfield Knights (18U team) at Junior High
· 2:45 pm vs. SWMO Eagles (14U team) at Middle School
Monday, Dec 14 – Practice 7-9 pm at Junior High
Tuesday, Dec 15 – Practice 7-9 pm at Junior High
Friday, Dec 18 – Practice 8-10 pm at Redeemer
Let your coach know if you have conflicts for any of these dates… and remember that schedules may change due to weather or excessive conflicts, so keep alert!
Cancellations:
I have been asked at what point we make decisions about canceling games due to weather. Here are some basic principles:
#1 – we don't cancel games based on forecasts, because we've learned that the weather in Missouri likes to do its own thing J
#2 – we consult with teams driving to play us first. Even if the weather is okay here, their weather may not be, and if it is a long distance, they may not want to make the drive if the weather is uncertain.
#3 – we must defer to the school district, since we are using their facilities. If school is cancelled in Rolla, their policy is that their facilities are not used for any events. I'm not sure yet how that applies to Saturdays.
#4 – we don't usually cancel until the day of an event, sometimes even midday. Keep your eyes open for emails if the weather is iffy (and remember the weather may be good here, but our opponents may not want to make the drive, or we may not drive to a location where the weather is bad).
FINALLY….
Our phone system/internet connection is on the fritz… we have used someone else's connection to get this message sent… So if you need to talk to us in the next day or two, call us on our cell phones.
