Thunder practice Wed 4:30 pm, Makiki

Alert: Thunder practice Wednesday (Feb. 15), 4:30 p.m. at Makiki Park. 

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year . . . did I forget anything else. Oh. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been awhile and I know everybody's had a busy winter. Some guys had fun playing (still playing) varsity ball. Some guys had fun JV seasons. Other guys had other things to do. All good.

Well, we're starting up again. Pa'a has asked us to play in their 16U league and I need to know who is committed. First of all, I ask now because the league has games at Kaimuki (or Kilauea), Koko Head and Kaneohe. That's right, Kaneohe! On Saturdays.

I don't want to commit unless we have a solid core that won't miss games because of transportation issues. There's also other leagues (NJB?) starting in the spring that I'll find out more about.

Second, my boss (publisher) has banned me from coaching any high-school age players since I cover prep sports at work. They don't like the perception of a conflict of interest, which is understandable. I can still coach you guys at practice, but I can't coach you at games. So hopefully Coach John (JJ's dad) can step in. You guys just need to put in the SWEAT EQUITY at practice every day, and Coach John will guide you just fine on game days (and nights).

Third, I am allowed to coach below high school level. So, if you have any friends or family 13 and younger, I can coach an all-new Thunder 13U or 12U team. We'll definitely have a team for that age group at the CAL (shot clock) league. I would miss coaching too much if we don't have a 13U team. So get the word out.

Any questions, call me (551-1054). Or check me on Facebook.

I LUB THIS GAME!
