4/7/2010 Team Email - General Communication

Topics discuss:
1. group agrees to uniform option unanimously. advised one year rental will be between $50-$55. for those that are in group again next year it will be much lower. have confirmed that it will be $50 for each of you. Please bring uniform rental fee to practice no later than 1 week from today. Casey, you will be in charge of collecting all the uniform funds, place all money in an envelope, once you have collected it all, we will verify and I will take it from you. I will then take the money and make an immediate payment for the uniforms.
2. Everyone will sign a uniform contract before receiving your respective uniform. Anybody that does not return their uniform in by the agreed date and in respectable condition will pay full price for the uniform, less the $50 rental fee.
3. Palomar league money will be collected by Kevin, $40 per player. due to need of moving the uniform money to top of priority, we will allow two weeks to turn in this money. Kevin you will do the same as advised to Casey for collecting the funds. We will have a little a bit of money in excess, after I pay for the league I will give left over money to Mr Dimler to hold and apply towards future tournaments. I will pay the league fees ahead of time.
4. I am considering registering us as an AAU team for a number of reasons. Among them it gives us the flexibility to play in a sanctioned event. But there are costs involved, such as a team cost, coaches becoming members and the of course each player. will review options with Mr Dimler when he returns, it also insures us if we practice somewhere, among other benefits. will advise as we move forward.
5. Last night we reviewed the 3/2 or CB zone? players absent were Illouise, Luke, Brandon. Anil, you walk through with Illouise before next practice, Casey you review with Luke, Devon you review with Brandon. My suggestion is for you and your partners to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to walk through.
6. Last night we walked through and discussed all the cuts that we will run off motion sets. The players paired above in #5 will be responsible for the same partners. Cuts and terminology are as follows.
a. California
b. Maryland
c. Utah
d. Duke
e. Dallas
f. Banana (may change terminology)
we may add a few more, but I want to insure we have the basics first. also, when teaching do not forget to discuss the change we make in our motion to insure the effectiveness of the cuts. Also as explained we give names/terminology so nobody knows what cuts we are talking about, but almost all of them were made easy to remember for reasons shared last night. We are no where need ready to run motion, it is why I thought we could take advantage of spring break to at
next, we will discuss additional change in the motion formation, to run some isolations.
7. Lastly we discussed everyone needs to complete the simple player profile that Illouise sent out 3 days ago, that should have been completed already. Submit them all back to Illouise by tonight. If you don't, your profile will not go on our web site. Illouise, just sent them to me once you have them all. You must all be better at responding to requests that I sent through Illouise, for those poor responders you will be the next to be responsible for getting/submitting information, it's tough to do, respect his time and effort.
8. Also, please remember. Participating in games is a reward for all of your hard work. I really don't have the time, but I know it will be invaluable to all of you. You are in no way, shape or from obligated to play in events. the most important part is what we do on our normal scheduled days. If you don't want to attend games, simply send me an email advising me of that. It's that simple.
This is a great example of will be on our web site. For now, share all this info with your parents. I have concerns not all of you communicate as clearly with your parents as you should be. So, print it, have them read it, and at the very least forward to them so they have clear understanding of what we have discussed as a group.
that's all for now.
