I cannot say enough positive things about this tournament!!! The city of Orville does an outstanding job & they show their appreciation to every team in attendance.
For those participating in the event this year it will test your team in a number of ways. First, strong competition throughout & secondly your stamina. Last year my Static '97 team was fortunate enough to win the 14U event but it tested my girls physcially, mentally, & emotionally. Even w/ a #1 seed from pool play, winning 6 games straight on a day in 100 degree weather will test each & every team. However, if your are in the championship game the girls will get their energy from the thousands of people watching & cheering as they gather for the huge fireworks display. The biggest thing we did for the girls was to keep them hydrated & out of the sun/heat as much as possible. We used the air conditioned welcome center building in between games even it was for only 5 minutes. That seemed to help a lot.
Good luck to all - you will have a fabulous time!!!
