Happy Veterans Day!  Thanks to all SnapDragons family members who have served.  Thanks for being Snapdragons!

Great start to the season yesterday.  Looked like everyone was having a good time. The schedule for next week remains the same.  If anyone is having registration issues, please email me (Jim Conrady) and we will set up a time to walk through it.

11/7/2024: 

Basketball

  • Basketball starts this Sunday.  See the basketball page for a schedule of gym time. 
  • If you have not registered yet, please do so.  We will be ordering uniforms next week. 

Soccer

 

  • If you have not turned in your uniforms yet (I only have half of them), please turn them in at one of the following events (read on!).
  • We have planned our end of year Soccer parties for the 14th and 15th of November, next Thursday and Friday.  On Thursday, 11/14, the Wings players will have their party.  On Friday, 11/15, the other teams (Dribblers/Shooters and Kickers) will have their party.  We had to split up again this year as we have too many players to fit in one sitting.
  • Once again this year our party will be at the LaRosa’s Restaurant in Eastgate.  LaRosa’s is next to Jungle Jim’s in the same building.  4450 Eastgate Blvd. is the address.  We will start at 6:30 PM both nights.  In addition to Pizza, we will be handing out trophies to our athletes.
  • If you cannot make your “assigned” night, feel free to join in on the alternate night.
  • I believe Mary will be there with any pictures that have not been picked up.

10/26/2024 

  • Our last game is tomorrow.  4:00, in Mason.  It is Trick or Treat day!  Plan to bring home lots of goodies. 
  • Please bring your uniforms tomorrow.  Please have them washed and in a plastic bag with your name on it.
  • Pictures will be available for pickup tomorrow as well.  
  • We are planning end of year parties for the teams within the next couple weeks.  Uniforms can be dropped off, and pictures picked up at the event as well.
  • Registrations remain open for Snapdragons basketball.  See the quick link above.  There is more info on the Basketball Page.

10/4/2024 

  • Friday night is our regular practice.  We will start at 6:30 as it is getting dark earlier.  We will be taking pictures, so wear your uniforms if possible.  
  • Sunday our game is on the west side.  The West Side location is different this year.  We will be playing at the TFA Harrison Soccer Complex (TSC).   The directions are in the TopSoccer Schedule link above, and I have repeated them here.

    The address is 26299 S. State Street, West Harrison, IN 47060.  Please do not let the Indiana thing bother you: the complex is just yards into Indiana.  

    Directions:  Take I-275 west to I-74 west stay on I-74 West to Exit #3 (Dry Fork Rd).  Turn left onto Dry Fork and then right onto Simonson (after 2 traffic lights).  Simonson dead-ends into Kilby where you turn Left and after 200 yards turn right onto Campbell Rd.  Campbell Rd. dead-ends into Stateline Rd where you turn right and then about 100 feet turn left into the complex. 

    Here is a google maps link to the location:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/29sQgKyeSH4H5f8V6

  • Registrations remain open for Snapdragons basketball.  See the quick link above.  There is more info on the Basketball Page.

  • The Fall Classic is Saturday, September 28th.  You have already received an email about this from CincyTopSoccer. The event will be held rain or shine.  Contingency Plans are being worked out if the weather does not cooperate.  Hope everyone can make it.
  • Registrations are now open for Snapdragons basketball.  See the quick link above.  Our registration system is the same as last year.  If you do not remember your password, follow the prompts to reset it.  All of the parent, player, and other data should be there from last year.   We had to create a fake email for some contacts last year.  If you want to fix those, email jimconrady@hotmail.com and I will try to address them.  The root cause of the problem last year has been fixed.  There is more info on the Basketball Page.

Thanks for being Snapdragons!
