Update on the Tour of Duty

Rob Wills, John Melia and the rest of the Tour of Duty gang have left Vegas and are currently heading towards Bullhead city. Thanks to everyone that went to the Strip to see the ceremonial run down Las Vegas Blvd. Highlights from the run include a custom Bellagio water show and the Fremont Street Experience showcasing the runners on the marquee. Follow the run's progress atwww.tourofduty.com.au and follow Rob's blog at robstod.blogspot.com

Also, Robert and Jake went down at midnight to run with their Dad's Rob and John.  And a BIG thank you to Chris Magee for having Bellagio dedicate the water show to the Tour of Duty while they ran by.

Eval's

Instead of writing an Eval for players I would like to set up meetings with everyone.  Please sign up for you Eval at Pool on Sunday.  I will have papers on the desk on the Score Board Side.  Parents if you want to attend you are welcome to sit in.

Rob will be at the Las Vegas Sign tonight at 11:45 pm - be there to cheer him on.

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen it's that time of year again...

It's time to get ready for the TVH Summer Slam.
For those who haven't been a part of this event before
we need all parents to help run this tournament the weekend
of August 14 & 15.

This tournament gets bigger and better every year because of the
team work we all put in to make it a HUGE success.

We will once again be holding table training/refresher course
for those of you that have never worked the table during a game or
those of you that have forgotten everything since last August!

Training will be this Friday night July 23rd, 6:30 to 8 pm,during practice at the Multigen.

The table will be set up and we'll work in shifts to train everyone on the
shot clock, game clock and score sheet while players scrimmage.
We will be signing parents and players to work the table during the
tournament.
I know you're all dying to get a seat at the official's table, but remember
that we will need help with concessions and t-shirts also (no kids at these venues.)

News from Iza

Iza says hello to everyone, she misses you all!!! She said after she went back home her shooting is the best, she is on the Junior National Team that is playing this summer in Florida. She is high scorer of every tournament... do you all see how high she gets out of the water - no wonder why she is high scorer!!!

When Lolo goes back home we hope she will become Brasil's next Olympic Goalie!!
