We could use one or two more players at least!
We could win an "Under 11" team trophy (cutoff is September 1, 2008 for turning 11, which would be anyone of our 5th graders, or anyone from Mill Valley). PLEASE RSVP ASAP for this National Tournament! I can drive a couple kids on Friday or maybe Sat/Sun if anyone needs a ride. Let's share rides!
