Elevation 13's Finish at KIVA Memorial Day Event
13 Grafton - Playing up in the U14 age group, the team's only losses on the weekend were to the #1 seed and to KIVA in the Gold Bracket Quarters. Coach Grafton commented that the girls were doing some really nice things including running some successful slides and ended the season on a strong note placing 5th out of 24 teams!
13 Byrnes - After a slow start on Saturday, the Coach Byrnes team responded by making it all the way to the Silver finals! This included a Silver semi-final rematch and win against a team they had lost to on Saturday! Great job girls!
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the club party on Monday!
We have a great group of parents and players. It was fun having everyone together including the little brothers and sisters!

Can't commit to JO's this season? Check out our Training Teams!
For those players and parents looking for an alternative to JO's at the U9-U15 ages, please look into our Training Teams. If you want to be on the court with this fall Lisa Schaad (club director), Mike Seibert (Ohio HS Coaching Hall of Fame member), Erin Iceman (HS head coach), Karen Hess (HS head coach), Marni Rhodes (HS head coach), or Amanda Schuler (HS head coach), then get registered for spring. This is not a camp. This is team training with your own coach. Area HS players who know our practice regimine and know how we teach skills will serve as assistants. Sports Express will be offering 12 Training Teams for a session runningMarch 15th - May 21st . The cost of a Training Team is substancially less than that of a JO team yet you get the same or better coaches due to the lack of travel required. All practices are held at Sports Express (2 or 4 hours per week) and our top trainers are committed to this activity. Forms will be available in January if not sooner!
