IMPORTANT REMINDER ……. Please be flexible, understanding and compassionate of others situations when scheduling your matches. Schedule your matches EARLY so that you can be flexible with differing public and private school schedules and with various holidays or getaways. Plan early, and be understanding when there is a schedule change due to an illness, injury, etc. On the other hand, don’t cancel a scheduled match unless absolutely necessary. You don’t want to get stuck playing a bunch of matches during the make-up week as the weather or last minute family issues may prevent you from completing your matches on time.
The intention of this league is to play matches in a competitive friendly environment, improve our skills, meet new friends, and HAVE FUN!!!
Have a great season and please contact any of the advisory committee members if you have questions.
