Need to start figuring out who will be playing in PAA 15U (late February) and 17U (if they have one). Also NJB All-Net 17U (maybe), 15U and 13U (maybe) in April. I do not want to enter 17U teams unless we have real commitment and enough players to be highly competitive. Otherwise, we'll stick with 15U, where most of our best players have been playing together the longest.
Issues:
> Money. Playing in PAA 17U (if they have one) means paying another $500. Playing in NJB 17U, that's $600. CAL may have 17U, but they don't start that division until their early summer (June) season. I'd have to ask each player/family to pay $25 or $30 for each league and I'll pay the other half.
> Scheduling. I'm pretty sure some of our guys will be playing with their schools' offseason teams in Ikaika League (spring) and that could conflict with our leagues. Ikaika League has a lot of school-based offseason teams.
So let me know which leagues and age groups you are committed to play in. I'm hoping that everybody is down for anything. We have a special group in 14U/15U and watching you guys play together is one of the funnest things in the world.
> Uniforms. If I haven't heard from you or your parent(s) yet, I need to know what size you want for the new uniform AND if you need a bigger size for the teal uniform (re-order). Cost is $30 per uniform if you can afford it and help this old coach out. I'm sending in the order in the next day or two.

I want to consider 17U because it's good to play the best teams, especially when we have so many varsity and varsity-quality players. PAA allows you to play in more than one age division. NJB does not.

If you have borrowed a uniform (or two) in the past, I need those back.
Currently playing: Aiea 13U, PAA 13U leagues. Next: CAL Intermediate.

NJB 17U - Maybe, maybe not. Players can't play in two age divisions at NJB. Boo.
NJB 13U - I'm 50/50 on this since Micah and Little Josh will turn 14 in the spring. The birthdate cutoff for NJB is Sept. 1, which means Jhevin and Trinity will be too old. We'll have a decent team, the same guys playing in PAA League right now. But we'll see if they're still dedicated and working hard the next few months.
Ryan Higashionna (if he's not playing 15U)
Walter Berthold
Jayden Ramos
Jonah Gormley?
Jance Apuya
Chaz Enos
If we have some high-quality, highly-dedicated additions, maybe we play in NJB 13U.
Then it's CAL 13U, 15U (and maybe 17U) again in early June. Also in early June, Maryknoll JV League (if they invite us back as defending champions) and Kalani Varsity League (we've been in their last three leagues). Then travel team for 14U and/or 15U. We'll see which group is coming to practice and working together.
Early June - CAL 13U - to be determined

** Note: All 13U players and those who are turning 14 this winter/spring will be listed on older rosters in case we ever get short on numbers.
