Pep Rally

Pep Rally Details!!!
The Pep Rally is on Tuesday October 26th at 7pm!
It is very important for everyone to be on-time!
We are going to meet ahead of time to drive over together!
We will provide hot chocolate and donuts for the boys.
Please drop off your boys at our usual 
practice location at 6:30 pm. 
We will drive as a team over to Bingham.
At the pavillion we usually practice at we will have the
donuts and hot chocolate.  
We will also practice our 'cheer'.
Taukeiaho's have agreed to teach our boys either the 'Haka'
dance or another 'Polynesian' war dance!  We are very 
excited.  The boys will love it!  However, it is going to 
require a bit of homework and practice.
We will plan on practicing tonight at the end of practice.
We will also give a paper of the words to the dance
that the boys need to be practicing and be familiar with.
Poasi will lead the team in the dance and will
help out doing the actions, however, if your boys are not 
loud and doing the actions it just won't do it justice!
So please practice with your boys and go over the words!

Plan on sending your boys on Tuesday 
in full uniform to the place and time 
mentioned above.
We will be wearing our HOME (BLUE) jerseys!

Scrimmage

We are going to scrimmage again!
This time we are playing another Bingham Team
it will be at
South Jordan Elementary
(11205 Black Cherry Way)
on Wednesday October 27th at 5pm.
Be there!
Let's plan to wear our blue jerseys and practice pants!
(We are away again this Saturday)

Tournaments!!!

Very Very Very important for all of your opinions here!
There are two opportunities for our boys to play in tournaments.
However there is additional cost/time involved in them.
We need your votes as to whether you would like
your players to be involved one of them.
Here are the details, please cast your vote on the polls
on the side bar of the blog!

BORDERWARZ
This is held at Rio Tinto Stadium and Cottonwood High School.
Each team is placed in brackets by average age and weight as
well as if they are an A or B team.
There is a cost of $40 per player plus $100 a team.
It will be held November 16 - 20th.

It will be a fun opportunity for our boys to play at Rio Tinto! 


JAG BOWL
This is held at West Jordan (at least hosted by WJ assuming played there as well)
Games are played on November 6th and 13th.
The cost is $350 a team OR $20.60 per player. 

Both of these tourney's will quickly
fill up!
We need everyone's opinion as to whether you would
like your player to participate!  Please vote on the poll 
on the side! ASAP!!!
Per Coach....I will need at least 17 votes per poll to make a
determination!
If there are NOT 17 votes per poll I will have to hunt everyone
down and get your personal opinion! SO PLEASE VOTE
only 3 days to do it!!!

Registrations are due shortly!

PEP RALLY

It is that time of the Season!
Time to get everyone 'PUMPED UP'!

For those parents who don't know,
every year there is a BIG Pep rally!
This year it is going to be held on October 26th 
at 7:00 pm at Bingham High School!
It is quite the event!
Everyone is invited to come, parents, 
grandparents, siblings, friends and neighbors!
It is free to get in and the boys LOVE IT!
They have their team '15 minutes of fame' moments!
They introduce each team and announce
their achievements.
At the end there is the 'burning of the B'!
You will all have to come to find out more
about that one! :)
So let everyone know the pep rally is going to be
Tuesday October 26th, 7:00 pm 
Bingham High School
I will have details later as to where we will have the
boys meet so they are ready for the pep rally!
They will need to be in FULL UNIFORM for 
this event!

Playoffs

As you all know playoffs are around the corner!
While right now as we sit we do NOT know
if we will be one of the top 4 teams to automatically
make it into playoffs, we have a chance at
being in the 4th qualifying team position to go!
There are a few things that need to take place
and we will unfortunately have to play
the waiting game to find out if it all pans out.
We MAY be in a 3-way tie position
If that is the case Tuesday November 2nd will
be the Tie Breaker Game.
There will be more details to come if we will in fact
be in that 3-way tie later!


Just for your information Playoffs are
November 6th and 13th.
There is a charge to enter these games as follows:
0-4 Free
5-11 2.00
12 and up 3.00
As with the preseason games, I believe these costs are used
as a fundraiser and all proceeds will be split between the 
districts that are participating.

Aftergame Treats

Something I have not been on top of!
For the remainder of the last 4 games
(Possibly more depending on Play offs)
I would like parents to volunteer to bring
Post game treats!
If I can get two parents for each game
you would only be responsible to bring either
a treat or a drink!
Please leave a comment/email
if you are going to be able to help
out with this.
Or if you think it is not necessary please let me know
via the same way!

Scrimmage Wednesday

We are heading to 
South Jordan Elementary 
(11205 Black Cherry Way)
on Wednesday!
We are going to be scrimmaging there at 5pm.
It will be the same team we scrimmaged there
last time!
Please note to wear 
your Blue jersey and practice pants!
I will be collecting these blue jersey's after the scrimmage
and will bring them to the game on Saturday!

Are we Home or Away?!

Apparently District wide there has been
some confusion as to whether we should
be home or away for games.
Due to the confusing way the games were
listed on the schedule many teams are getting
confused!
Apparently on Saturday we were the home team and 
we were on Riverton's Fields.  They must have been
confused as well because they wore their Home jersey's!

Having said that, Coach would like us to collect jerseys.
He would like us to continue to wear a color that
will be announced at the beginning of the week.
The other jersey needs to be brought to practice on 
Wednesday before the game.
I will collect them and bring them to the games on
Saturday's!
That way we will have BOTH jersey's there
if we need to make a uniform change at the last minute!

I know it is somewhat of a pain and I really apologize!
Luckily with our mistake this past week it turned out okay, 
next time it may not be okay!

Thank you so much for your understanding!
This week please plan on wearing your White AWAY jerseys
to the game on Saturday.
WE WILL BE WEARING OUR BLUE
JERSEYS TO THE SCRIMMAGE ON
WEDNESDAY!
I will take them home to be laundered
after the scrimmage.
