Pics from the Regional Tournament at Gustavus Adolphus College on Saturday. As coaches and administrators, we couldn’t be more proud of our athletes! Their dedication to their fellow athletes, leadership, compassion for others, sportsmanship and commitment to our organization is something we all can learn from. It is truly an honor to know each and every one of them! ❤️ A special thank you to family and friends that made the trip to come watch us play, we couldn’t do it without your support too! (Maybe next year I’ll get you some proper pom poms and foam fingers!😉)
Enjoy some snapshots…

Our program is growing with leaps and bounds!!
Because of this, we are looking for some help!! Please let me know if you can be of assistance with any of the following:

1. Track Coach - 1 day/week (Wednesdays) for 1 hour. We need some volunteers to help run practices as we have about 20 athletes this year!! Needed immediately.

2. Golf Coach - we could still use some more help on the golf course this year. 1 day/week (Thursdays) for 1 hour starting in July. New Ulm Golf Course.
**Coaches must be at least 18 years of age or older. Graduating high school golfers, retired coaches or just people that enjoy the game would be amazing! You don’t even have to be any good! Lol

3. We need 2 - left handed adult golf club sets.

4. We need up to 4 - junior golf club sets.

5. We need 3 ladies golf club sets.
** the clubs need to be in good condition for a reasonable price or donated as funds are limited.

Our full court team does not have a state basketball tournament this year due to MN hosting the SO World Games. We would like to add a game to our team's schedule sometime in early May. We are looking for a few people, organizations or groups that might like to play some unified basketball with our team or bring a team to play against us!
If you play high school or college basketball, haven't played in years or want to challenge your church group or fire department, please let me know! The athletes love this sport and deserve to play an additional game before we close the season.
Thank you!
