Mid-Michigan Lakers

In case you hadn’t already been told, MML players are invited to a team barbeque at the home of the Turcyn’s in Lapeer at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday night. Their home is located at 3850 Oregon Road, Lapeer, 48446. They have a pool and a basketball court, so come prepared. Members of the U-16 team are expected to attend (coach’s orders).

See you there.

The U-16 team will practice on Monday at Flint Central Church of the Nazarene starting at 6 p.m. Please let one of your coaches know if you cannot attend.

Our U-16 team will be practicing tonight at Mott Community College in Flint starting at 5 p.m. If you cannot make it, please let your coach know.

Here’s an update on Brawl for the Ball. The tournament runs July 12-15 in Grand Rapids at the Devos Center. It’s very convenient because all games will be played under one roof. I know in years past the final day of the tournament tends to be for championship games only. Once the schedule comes out, we will be able to plan accordingly.

As for hotels, the tournament staff suggests three that are close by. That being said, you can find much cheaper rooms by using Priceline.com or some of the other travel websites. As is typical, some parents will choose to commute to the tournament. Please make sure you let your coach know what you plan to do.

I know the U-17 team has several members (and two coaches) who will not be able to attend. Luckily, Chris Hutton, Jr. has volunteered to help coach the team in their absence. I will also be able to help in an emergency, bearing in mind that I’m a horrible coach (coaches must have an NCAA certification, also).

Also, if you have not submitted your up-to-date information for the NCAA (address, phone, birthday, etc.) please do so. Please get with your coaches and watch the site for practice next week.

Thanks,

Jared

There is a U-15 practice tonight at Central Church of the Nazarene in Flint at 6 p.m. Please let all your teammates know.
