Arsenal 3v3 July 18-20

As we move into July, any time we can compete against other teams pays dividends.

We will compete in the annual Arsenal 3v3 tournament July 18-20.  This is a very fun tournament with flair.
All of the teams come up with unique, creative uniforms.  The entire event has a slight carnival air.

The first game the boys play, they will be reminded exactly what "game-speed" is.  I remember last year, the first time we have signed up for the tournament, it took a few minutes for the boys to warm up to full speed, as they were expecting a slow, skill laden game.  With the small fields, only the most aggressive teams have a chance.  The winning teams were all the most aggressive, confident, and skilled.

Below, are the teams.  I have assigned every player to a team, including the 6 who have notified me that they will be out of town that weekend.  I have assigned two out of town players to each team, so all 3 teams have 4 players that will be there the entire tournament, and twowho will not (but will receive a team shirt anyway).

The team names were chosen from movie themes.  The teams are mostly random.  I tried to mix  up the boys with players they may not be as familiar with.

So here are the teams:

Men of Steel
*Colby
*Payton
Mason
Caden
Rylee
Ben


Zombies R Us
*Tanner
*Denton
Grady
Matt
Landon
Chris


Dark Knights
*Ryan
*Branden
Bryson
Joseph
Samuel
Brendon

* players who will not be at the tournament

The teams are all registered, and I know of 6 players who will not be there (Colby, Denton, Ryan(thu-fri), Brandon, Tanner, Payton)

This tournament will be a blast.  I'm looking forward to see what "full speed" is for this group.
