Alexander Tournament

Attached is our schedule for Sunday. And a link to directions to the Alexander tournament. First game is at 8am for both squads. It’s at 45 minute drive from the WRAZEN household. We will be leaving about 6:30am at the latest to get there on time. IF you need to carpool please let me know ahead of time.

When you GET there we will let you know if you are on Arsenal 1 or Arsenal 2. Bottomline is we are going to split the teams as best we can so that we have equal talent on both. We will not have any subs so you will need to be prepared to play the entire time (unless one or two of those that cant make it can now make it to the tournament) I would think that we could handle one or two more. So if you change your mind please let me know.

Bear in mind if you have NOT been to Alexander before, getting to the school seems like half the trip. You will not see the fields from the school parking lot. To the right (east) rear of the parking lot you will see a gravel road past the football field. That road will take you up to the Field of Dreams. It has to be a half mile but seems much much longer

Please be at the FIELD by 7:20 am at the latest. That way I can take role and we can warm up prior to play.

Cost is $22 per player. Please bring a check if at all possible so that I make SURE of who has paid. OR if you do bring cash please attach a slip of paper with your name.

Make sure to bring plenty of water or Gatorade, sunscreen and something to sit or lie on for between games. I will try to remember to bring my canopy. If someone else has one please bring that as well. ONE other thing to bring are baby wipes for cleanup. I honestly cant remember any running water at the field. They do have very reasonably priced concessions at the field but bringing something lite to eat is a good idea as well.
