It has become a problem managing the transportation request forms. Some are not making it to the coaches 24 hours in advance... they are being placed in mailboxes instead of hand delivering, parents are faxing over late.

All transportation request forms must be DELIVERED TO MRS. CARDINAL'S HANDS BY THE ATHLETE before THE START OF PRACTICE the DAY BEFORE the competition.

If this becomes an issue to manage, we will have to ask that all students ride the bus home from all away matches.

Many of you will be scheduleing your SAT and ACT tests during the 2019 school year! Please make sure that you are choosing dates that will not interfere with weekend tournaments and playoff schedule.

My plan is to have one jamboree and two tournaments for each team. These days could be any Saturday or Sunday during September and October. The varsity team will have playoff games the playoff tournament all through the month of November.

If you are itching to take the SAT in the fall of 2019, here are the suggested dates. I will not scheudle tournaments on these dates:

SUGGESTED SAT DATE: October 5th, 2019.

(The November SAT date could be a playoff date, so please do not schedule for November 2nd.)

SUGGESTED ACT DATE: October 26th, 2019 or December 14th, 2019

(The September ACT date is a tentative tournament date, please do not schedul for September 14th.)
