Let the Games Begin!
See schedule posted below if you're not sure when your team plays tonight.
Tonight participants will have a chance to volunteer for when they want to fulfill their required positions. Positions meaning referees, stats, scoreboard and camera. Volunteer early if you want to choose when you can help in the games because positions' times slots will be given out on a first come first serve basis. Everyone is required to help out this year; everyone was assigned to a position and everyone must help with the required amount of games. If you don't know what position you were assigned to, ask me. I'll also help you to know what training is required for your position.
We've had a few additions this year that will improve the league in many ways. The addition of the committee and commissioner have made everything more organized, among many other things. The addition of the by-laws and mission statement help to make sure all players understand what the league is all about and what each participants responsibilities are, on and off the court. The addition of the referee training will ensure games will be refereed by people who understand the rules and regulations of the game. This blog is another addition that will help improve the league by giving all the participants in the league the chance to stay caught up on the latest news.
Our main website is under construction right now. We're working on a whole bunch of improvements. Soon we'll be able to view videos of the games right on our website. We'll also be improving the way stats for each game are presented and organized. For now, keep checking here in the blog for the latest and greatest news.
