09/21/09 - New Practice at West Chicago

WE HAVE A POOL!!!

Alright... after an exhaustive search by Mike and Blake, we found a new place for practice. West Chicago High School is giving us some time on Sundays for practice.

Here's the scoop:

Sunday, Oct. 4 - 9-10:30am CANCELLED

Sunday, Oct. 11 - 9-10:30am CANCELLED

We want to test out this pool for a couple weeks, before we commit to more time there. So please, I would like to see everyone there to give their opinion and get us all back in the pool.

Here is the link to the map:

06/04/09 - Sunday Practices

Practices are back to ....semi-normal... after input from the entire team, we found we all liked the early morning practices better than the later afternoon ones. So back to mornings we go.

Due to undetermined conflicts we do have to go REAL early... 8-10am on Sundays. Hopefully these will get moved later. please bear with us.

02/23/09 - Centennial Beach Games

Starting June 5th and going to July 31st as long as we are not at another tourney we will be participating in multiple team scrimmages friday nights 5p-8p @ Centennial Beach in Downtown Naperville.

01/27/09 - Scrimmage Time Change

The February 22nd scrimmage Vs. Chicago Dinamo orginally scheduled for 10a-1130a has been moved to 5p-630p

01/27/09 - Practice Time Change

The board members had their annual meeting to discuss dues, tourneys, practices and membership. One thing that was discussed was our practice times and membership. We decided to test moving our practice schedules to 5-7pm on Sunday night for a couple month period from March 1st thru May 30th and reevaluate afterwords. We want to see if some of the players that are unable to make it to the early morning practices can make it to the late afternoon practices.

Once again, this is a temporary test. Please voice your opinion to the management.

Practice Schedule Updated

I updated practices to the end of November... keep in mind some practices are subject to change due to holidays' and last minute tourneys.

Added the Badger Tourney to the schedule. Trying to get a head count for all those who plan on attending Sept. 27-28 up in Madison, WI. Also a little bit of team news... Congratulations goes out to the new Team AWPC Captain's Blake Lucas and Mike Kuziel.
