Good Afternoon

We are working hard to respond quickly to the many requests we are getting. We have a list of 15-20 items and we are assuming that if we get a question more than once that there are probably dozens of people who have the question. Therefore we are trying to set up systems and answer the questions in e-mails and on the blog so that everyone will have the info they need.

Coming soon (hopefully tomorrow) information on pictures from the award ceremony and showcase, Springfield Web TV, collecting medals and trophies.

Next year’s date – Is now on the home page of the website – March 15-20, 2010

Hotel Reservation – some of you loved your hotel and want to lock it up for next year before next November. Just fill out form on website and I am going to meet with the Springfield CVB and work something out.

Blog for comments about 2009 is now on line (link on home page). We welcome all comments we want to get better and value the input.

All-American Game DVD Sales – We now have on line DVD sales. I would like to see every family own a set of these DVD for two very important reasons:
1. This is a great item for memories and motivation. Everyone who was at the 2009 Nationals will at some point be disappointed if they don’t get one or more of these dvds.
2. It is a great way to support the showcase. The showcase cost almost $25,000 to put on. It truly is the highlight of the week and a great way to display the talent for fans, players and college coaches. This year we had scouts at Nationals from the following division 1 schools: Georgetown, Tennessee, South Florida, Miami, Oral Roberts, Missouri State, Arkansas Little Rock and Alabama. Plus there were dozens of scouts and college coaches form schools like Mid-America University, SE Missouri State, Crown Christian College, Barclay College, Pensacola, North Dakota, Pittsburg State, Drury College and SW LA. The showcase is a big part of getting the coaches to come to Nationals. If you like the Showcase and/or you like the fact that more college scouts watched more HomeSchool players play basketball than ever before, then support the Showcase by buying a DVD or the whole collection. www.homeschoolbasketball.com/online-store

Hooded Sweatshirt Blow Out – We get more requests from players and families that did not get a chance to buy their hooded sweatshirt than any other item. So this morning we separated out remaining hooded sweatshirts and have put them into a package so we can get rid of them all before we put them away until next year. We have limited quantities so if you want a sweat shirt don’t delay.
