Concession Stand News

Several people have wondered if we are having a concession stand this year?  Yes, we have a concession stand! It will be at most of the home games providing drinks, candy, nuts, chips and more for your snacking enjoyment.  Contact your team mom if you are interested in working. :)

End of Season Party date change

The end of season party date has been set for Friday, October 17th at the Lincoln Center. It will cover the lunch hour so dad may attend the program and participate in the fun activities and also eat lunch with all players and families. More details about this fun event will come later. If you would like to help with decorations/set-up or help with the party in any way, please contact Kim Chavarria.

Secret Sister Reveal date change

JH Practice

We tried ever so hard to find a gym that would accommodate everyone's schedule and be no charge. We had some good leads but was unable to secure a location. We are now at our home gym at Lincoln Center. There is a membership fee of $30 and you will need to fill out a membership form. I have the forms and will get them to the team moms. The JH practice will be held on Friday's from 9:00-11:00 at the Lincoln Center with JV/V to follow. We appreciate your patience in this matter. We where working diligently on this task but sometimes waiting for return calls take time.

Home game gate information

I know we have a lot of new families this year so I would like to let everyone know the gate procedure for home games. There is a lot of information here so please read to the end.

1) If you are working the gate table for the first game, please be at the gym and ready at least 30 minutes before the game begins. At times in the past, the visiting team and families are there before 30 minutes before game time, but also, at times in the past, LRC does not let us in the gym as early as we would like. Just work with LRC and stand just inside the doors (after the staff lets us know we may enter the gym) as everyone enters while a table is being set up for you. LRC staff is really good about helping us get the gym ready for our games. Once you receive the gate money box and notebook, count the beginning money and initial in the notebook. The treasurer has already done this but just initial beside hers.

2) If you are a team that follows another game, please go promptly to the gate table as soon as the previous game is concluded to relieve that parent. Between games, both team gate parents (concluding team and incoming team) count the money, record totals, and both initial in notebook.

3) Parents and siblings of Panther players get into home games free. Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. will need to pay admission fees. Moms, please let your husbands know this information and ask them to let the gate person know that they are a Panther players dad.

4) The refs usually brings their ref pay sheet to the gate table, just put this inside the front pocket of the folder. The treasurer will be by to take care of them, usually after the game.

Gate fees:
Adults: $4
Students: $2
Family Max: $12
Senior Citizens: $2

Any child younger than school age is free. Give grace to our grown up siblings who are in college and give them the student rate, they are students, right? If you are not sure, just ask, they will be happy to receive the discount. If a dad from the visiting team comes (for example) and all they have in their wallet is $2, then give grace and let them through with paying $2. Sometimes we just forget to run to the bank to get cash to give to our dads. So, in a nutshell, when working the gate table, sometimes we just need to use our own discretion at times.

If you have further questions, (don't ask me! LOL) ask Cindy our wonderful treasurer!!

Bookkeeping Training

Wednesday, August 20, 2:00-3:00
I will be holding a training session on how to keep books for our home games.  We desperately need more parents to learn how to keep books and run the clock, especially for the jr. high teams.  All parents are welcome.  If you can't make it at this time, we can schedule training for you during a home game.

Training for the clock will need to be done during a game since the equipment is at the LRC.  Someone with experience will teach you and stay with you until you are comfortable doing it on your own.

Please let your team parent know if you are willing to learn how to keep books or run the clock.
Thanks!
Tracy

JV Hangout Party

Attention all JV players & parents. Meredith & I have planned a fun hangout time for the JV girls!!! We hope every JV player can come in order for them to bond even more as a team :)
It will be this upcoming Monday 8/11 6:30-8:30pm at Meredith's house. Her address is 515 Camp Court, College Station, Tx 77840. Meredith has offered to take girls back to her house after practice (which ends at 5pm) if parents would prefer that in order to save gas/trips.
Girls are to bring $3 for pizza & 6yds of ribbon of their choice. They will be making hair ties to wear in their hair for games :)
If there are any questions, feel free to text me (979-450-9567) or Meredith (903-841-8050). We are really looking forward to this fun time!! :)
