Aiea 12U league is probable

HEADS UP. Just got word from Coach Rob Godinez of the AIEA 12U LEAGUE that they now have seven teams. Only need one more and we're rolling. Looks highly probable now that there's going to be a league. So get ready, Chris Tatupu Afe, Micah Visoria, Walter Berthold (Mark A. Berthold), Ryan Higashionna, Joshua de Jesus, Micah Tong. Games are on Saturday mornings, Aiea Rec Gym.

If you turn 13 before Sept. 1, 2013, you are not eligible to play. So please check with me on your birthdate and year.

Here's the info on the Aiea 12U League.
