New league: June 17

Wuzzup everybody! Hope you're enjoy the start of summer vacation. Take a look at these choices and let me know what you guys think. I'm OK with any combination as long as we're playing basketball!

• Kona Stingrays tournament (18U), first week of July. Need full commitment from at least 8 players this week. Cost is est. $350-400 each player/coach/parent for the four-day stay. Not cheap, but a memorable experience. Not all our 18U guys are available due to football, so I want to know if we'll be old enough for this tourney.

• NJB All-Net Tournament (15U), second week of July. This is a five-day tourney in Honolulu. Entry fee is $325, not cheap, but the games are official in length. It's a Wednesday-Sunday tournament.

• NEW: KKB's coach (Wayne) is putting together at 16U league beginning at the end of June. This would be a godsend since we had been hoping to play in CAL 16U, but that got pushed back to August. I'm hoping to get together as many of our recent 15U guys plus our 15U from last year. I was asked about the league today and I left a message with Coach Wayne today, hoping to hear from him soon. Sounds like we're in, though.

After this, the CAL league begins in early August, games on Sundays only. I actually would prefer two leagues in July. Things can get kind of slow with just one game, but it's better than none!

Feed me some comments or call me at 551-1054, let me know what's up.

UPDATE 5 p.m. I just got a call from Coach Wayne. He said his league will begin Friday, June 17, which is just 10 days from now. So get ready! I know most of you are playing summer league, so we'll probably practice this Sunday and the next Sunday, maybe on Wednesdays or whenever you guys don't have school practice/game.

Another thing he said was they had to allow older players, including this year's graduates, to play. That allowed them to have enough teams.

League in 10 days, let's get ready!
