Gameday T-shirts

Well, we are now completed our first year experiment of hosting "tournaments" here in Rolla. A big thank you to all of you who helped in some way, especially today, since you pitched in with no prior notice :)

The St. Louis Patriettes and the SWMO Lady Eagles were here today, and from the little that I was able to see, it looked like we had 3 pretty good games. We lost to both teams, but we gave both of them a good game.

We'd welcome any input you may have on doing these events again next year, positive or negative. We want to learn from this experience and do better next year. We do know that both the St. Louis and Springfield teams appreciated the opportunity and are likely to come again if we host next year.

One thing that worked out pretty well was our t-shirts -- we purposely designed them so we could use the same shirt for both the boys and the girls, and ordered plenty extra for the boys tournament. Not many extra were sold, so we had 36 left over, and with only 2 teams coming today, decided to wait to order any more t-shirts. We came out pretty close to having just enough -- we were able to give the opposing team players shirts that worked for them, and were just a few short to give our girls.

I will be ordering shirts on Monday for those players who did not get them. Any parents or siblings who are interested in a gameday shirt, we will sell them to you at our cost, which will be $8 or so.. We also have 5 youth 10-12 shirts we will sell at the same cost. (the logo is attached if you want to see it)

Please let me know what size shirt you need, girls who didn't get one, and anyone else who wants to buy one, send me the size you want.
