Upcoming tournament

Tournament on Jan 7 - 8:30 to about 3:00. Metcalf Middle School. Costs about $22 + lunch.
If we have 5 or more we'll enter a team in the team vs team. Others (or all if we have less than 5) will play in the individual tournament. It will be fun!
Be prepared to do you best, but you'll be up against the best that Minnesota has so be prepared to lose some games. If this is your first tournament, your goal is to try to win 1 game.
