Dec 11 Ratings

We have an opportunity to join a league where we'd play five of our players against five from another school. It would be on Fridays in Jan and early February. It looks like the team would be Luke, Shanmuka, Elijah, Graham and Amanuel with Pragnan and Asher as backups in case someone couldn't make it. Or we could field two teams by adding Sam, Bisrat, Zach, and Dhanush. I would get the school to pay the fee, so it would be free for the participants. However, you would have to provide your own transportation to and from the school (which would probably be Friendly Hills, Heritage, or Metcalf. We don't need all 5 parents to drive - two will probably do for one team, 4 for 2 teams. Think about if you would like to participate even if I didn't include your name above. Ask your parents if you can go, and ask them if they would be willing to drive

If we don't join the league, I thought we might take the activity bus over to Heritage and play them.
