INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO - Have Your Player Watch Right Away!
Message from Coach Reed
Hope everyone had a great weekend and is adjusting well to the time change! Looking forward to two good practices this week as the team prepares for a big tournament in Baltimore this coming weekend. As you all know, the GRIND received a donation for team shoes from an anonymous donor. I sent sincere thanks from our entire team. What a great thing for our boys and our program! Hopefully shoes will be in this week so that we can distribute to players in time for our coming tournament!
Please take some time to review this week's edition of the GRIND Weekly newsletter for important team updates. Start by sharing the above video with your players. A must see!
Let's go GRIND!
