A lot going on this week, what a fun week.   Here is a list of things to know for the week...   What a great opportunity to showcase Shanley Football and the JPII Network.  Let's get our side of the dome filled and make it seem like a home game for the boys.   Please push fluids at home this week, the dome gets very hot, and we don't need any cramping.  

Practice:  
Today in the Library at 4:00, lift and done by 5:45 
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be at the Metro Rec on Main Ave. from 4:30 to 6:30.   Players will be responsible for their own rides, if you need help arranging, please let me know and I can send them with older players.

There are a limited number of tickets available at Shanley during school hours until they are gone.  Otherwise, you can get them Gameday at the dome.   Adults $20, Students $6
