Summer Slump

Our league is currently experiencing a summer slump. Last practice....5 girls...one who was late because of work.  It a little disheartening when we have worked so hard to build this league up to only see 5 girls come to practice. I totally understand it..don't get me wrong. I get it. But that doesn't make me feel any better. So... we've decided to stick to one practice a week until September then attempt to rebuild our numbers from there. We need to do some major recruiting and get our league out in the public more. We've done a couple public appearances, with great success. Not success of getting more skaters, refs or NSO's, but success as in being welcomed by our community. That is a big deal for us! We want to be recognized as being professional, athletic women who love their community and aren't afraid to pitch in when needed. So...I'll keep planning community events, our fundraising committee will keep planning fundraisers, and in September we will have a recruiting/open house night at our practice facility.  I think its a great plan to keep everyone interested and come September... BRING ON THE DERBY!
