I need to update this more...

I need to update this more because too many things happen in between posts and one post will not only take up at least an hour of my time, but would require the reader to read a damn novel.

I will just have to summarize:

July

- Began my third season with Team Evil for Phoenix Dodgeball League. We are currently undefeated in open and have a huge gap between us (at first place) and the second place team. We got wicked cool new jerseys, finally putting an end to a several year jersey fiasco. Coed team is currently in fourth?
- SUCCESSFULLY hosted the 1st Annual "Heatwave" Dodgeball Tournament as a fundraiser for the Arizona Rampage and also to hopefully regain some credibility for our capacity at hosting tournaments...which we did. Unfortunately, Phoenix teams AGAIN walked away with $300.00 in open division and $300.00 in coed division, however we were able to raise $500.00 towards the Rampage Vegas trip. This got me to thinking higher prizes for the future.

August

- Arizona Rampage took the world championship in vegas!

- Open Gym at the Boys and Girls Club, Steve Daru branch began and was highly successful.

- Team Evil is kicking major ass in the Azdodgeball league.

September

- Our 2010 Fall Season Competitive Division started, again with eight teams. Momentum is looking good!
- Launched our first ever, online registration system, written from scratch from one of our players. Can't even begin to thank him enough for it.

October

- Kicked off our first ever, "Recreational Division" league mixing new players with experienced players, utilizing a different rule set and the "no sting" gopher balls which were found to be successful and well received during the DWC.
- Tucson Dodgeball wristbands were made. Our first real attempt to "merchandise."

All in all, things are looking well. Just need to stay focused, vigilant and keep putting in the hard work as its paying off.
