Welcome back, Stingers!

Happy new school year, Stingers fans! I hope that we'll see your fabulous kids out on the ultimate field again this year.

Meanwhile, a few Stingers news items:

1. New coaches!

We are thrilled to welcome Mason's parents, Kathy and Mark, to the coaching roster. Not only are they awesome people, they are both national champions. We're lucky to have them at Bagley!

2. Seeking new recruits

More than half our roster graduated in the spring. Spread the word that we are recruiting! All 3rd-5th boys and girls welcome, no experience necessary.

3. Fall practices

This year, we're pleased to be able to offer fall practices. Year-round practicing will really improve the players' skills, and will make a big difference when we start games in the spring (March-May).

We are offering a variety of times to suit different schedules (e.g. soccer, work...), so hopefully your Stinger can make it to at least a few.

Tentatively, fall practices will be:

**CONFIRMED FIRST PRACTICE** Weds Sept 24, 2-3 (early dismissal) by Greenlake wading pool 
Sat Sept 27, 11-12, TBD (probably Meridian)
Mon Oct 13, 3:45-5, GL wading pool Tues Oct 14, 4-5, GL Wading Pool

Sun Oct 19, 10:30, TBD (probably Meridian)
Weds Oct 29, 1:45-3 (early dismissal), GL wading pool

We will send out a poll and take suggestions for other dates soon.

I'll be advertising the FIRST PRACTICE (Weds Sept 24, 1:45-3) via the vlist and Buzz. Tell your kids to bring friends!

I will try to keep the website (danielbagleyultimate.blogspot.com) updated with the most current information. Feel free to email me with any thoughts or questions.

Go Stingers!

p.s. For now, parents will have to escort kids to the GL wading pool practices since it's off-site and we're not an official Bagley team.
