Great shooting workout (almost 2 hours), plus bonus ballhandling drills courtesy of "Coach Jared," who was there before 3 pm and stayed until 6:30 pm working on his game. Josh R and Jance were also there for our optional shooting workout, refining their shooting fundamentals with rep after rep. Great work ethic, Thunder.
We also had a constructive meeting with the parents who could make it to Makiki Park on a busy Mother's Day. Henry (Josh's dad), Yolanda (Jance's mom), and Ray-Marlyn Ramos and I got to discuss summer leagues and possible travel plans. One thing that we definitely agreed on is that I'll simply set a date and location, and it'll be up to the players (and parents) to commit or not. It's been more than a month since I emailed the possible tournaments, cities and dates for summer travel, and there hasn't been much feedback. So we'll push forward, see how it goes and whatever happens is fine with me.
That means early July and most likely two tournaments back to back (within a one-week span) in Las Vegas unless I can find a similar situation in LA. Air fare and hotel rooms in Vegas are the best deals. LA has pricier hotels, but food there is fairly cheap. Please send me your feedback via email or text. I'd really like to know which players (and parents?) will commit to traveling in early July.
WE LOVE THIS GAME!
