Dear Families:

We are so glad that your teams have chosen to participate in this year's OSA Elite Showcase, sponsored by Gregg Young Automotive!

Below is information that will help prepare you for the tournament this?weekend. We really need to all work together and be on-point this weekend and throughout the winter months and Holiday Season, so that we keep the kids playing indoor sports! We trust we will have everyone's understanding and cooperation as we are only trying to do what is best for the health and well-being of everyone involved while following local, state and federal guidelines. Nobody likes this stuff less than the facility managers, staff and tournament staff and directors. We are all just doing everything we can to keep the players, coaches, officials, staff and families safe and healthy as we work through an ever-changing pandemic. We understand the value for kids in playing sports, from the social, emotional and physical aspects. Our intent is only to keep things going for them in the safest way possible! Your support is the most important thing to making that happen, and it starts with your emphasizing the importance of cooperation with your families.?
