Good Morning ICP!

First of all I would like to APOLOGIZE for the miscommunication surrounding this weekends cancellation of our parent meeting and practice. We had dropped the ball and did not get the key to Grant HS prior to the mens basketball team leaving for a Xmas tourney in Seattle on Friday. Once we figured out that we didnt have the key (Saturday afternoon) all of the coaches scrambled to try and let all of the parents and players know that we would cancell practice and look to schedule the parent meeting for early January.

Again we try very hard to stick to our schedule as i know many of you plan your weekends around ICP and we appreciate everyones commitment tremendously.

Congratulations to the 10U and 9U teams as they went 3-1 this past weekend in Salem. For our 9U it was there first opportunity to play afull game together and showed signs of becoming a very competitive team. Our 10U team has really grown, as ALL players are in contention for playing time this year.

2008 WEST COAST REGIONAL XMAS CHAMPIONSHIPS!

We will host our annual Xmas tourney THIS WEEKEND and need ALL ICP players to play on helping out for both days 7:30am- 7:30pm. We will not require parents to volunteer as there will be many games going on and we want families to be able to support ALL ICP games during the weekend. We also understand that this is the last weekend prior to Xmas and some parents have many last minute holiday issues to address.

So consider us a 12 hour babysitter for Saturday and Sunday as this tourney is part of each players community service commitment. Outside of playing in their basketball games, the kids will assist with score clocks, keeping stats, cleaning up the gym and helping out with concessions.

Lewis and Clark College will be ICP headquarters as ALL ICP games will be held there (except saturdays Rookie games, which will be at Synora Thirdgills host site Benson HS). Hopefully this schedule will work for everyone as there wont be a need to do anytraveling between games.

Please feel free to invite all friends and family out to support our event as ICP and Seattle Rotary normally compete for the biggest followings for every tournament. Admission will be $5 per day and covers entry to all gyms for all games.

This event will conclude our season for 2008. We will break for Xmas/ New Year until the second weekend of January. Once we hit that point it will turn into a whirlwind as we wont conclude our season until JULY! So enjoy your time off and try to get in the gym a few times during the break in an effort to keep the rust off of your game.

QUICK NOTE!

Please make sure all players wear there practice uniforms (coach Jeff will bring Rookies game uniforms) as we will play in them during the tournament. Also make sure everyone wears there game shoes this weekend. We will need to take a few pics to send out to REEBOK.

Coaches will be in contact with interested parents to organize a few positions during the season;
1. someone to record games
2. scorekeeper
3. team mom

If you areinterested any either of these positions for your sons team please let us know so we can fill that void moving into 2009.

Happy Holidays,
