Dear Lisa & Phil,

Thanks for a wonderful season - and for the years of coaching & working with the girls. It has been a real pleasure to see them come together as a team, and develop & grow as players and individuals.

And, while I certainly like the sound of "champions", I like the sound of "repeat champions" even more!

Congratulations - and a big thank you again.

Best,
Ajay

Dear Parents of Vipers,
Hats off to the unstoppable Viper girls, who dug down deep to win 4 games
this weekend, and once again take the MCRD 6th grade girls tournament title!
The success of the tournament, and the season as well, were not only
testaments to the spirit and positive energy of every single girl on the
Viper team and their skill development, but also to how well they played
together as teammates. Please remind the girls that regardless of how much
time they spent playing in the very final game, this was truly a team effort
­ and they achieved what they did because every single one of them
contributed to winning the division and tournament titles ­they really
jelled so well as a team. I didn't tell this next fact to the girls before
the game, but the Blaze team had won their 7th grade division title. This
bodes very well for our girls moving on to play with the Sidwell teams next
year.

I promise to pass on any photos that I receive of the girls, and would
love it if people could forward some of the pictures they took yesterday.
Also, attached to the bottom of this email is an announcement from Sheridan
Price. He is very skilled and has a wonderful style with the girls. He is
running drop-in "Skills and Scrimmage" clinics that would be very worthwhile
­ one of his instructors, Janee Hayes, was an all-star student-athlete in
basketball and volleyball at Sidwell.

It was a true privilege for Phil and me to be able to coach this team
for the past 4 years (and many players since first grade!). To be able to
have this birds-eye view of watching them develop not only as athletes, but
into the wonderful individuals they all are, has been something very
precious, that we will keep as treasured memories. Plus, I could not have
asked for a better group of enthusiastic parent, sibling and grandparent
fans cheering us on at every game!

I will very much miss coaching the girls, but I look forward to cheering
them on from the stands as they continue to blossom in all their future
endeavors.

Go Vipers!!

Lisa

Lisa, Thank you so much for everything. The girls really worked hard all
season and really earned this. I am glad that I could help. Thank you for
giving me an opportunity. One of the things I wanted to share with you was
that we will be having workouts throughout the spring/summer and fall. A
number of the other girls throughout the league will be coming and I think
it will be a great way for your girls to stay in condition and to stay in
tune with the game of basketball. I listed the information below and if you
could let the parents know that all I would need from them is notification
of whether or not their daughter can attend ahead of time so I know how many
will be present. A couple of the parents asked about the spring and I told
them you would send this to them. Thank you so much and I will talk to you
soon! Congratulations,Sheridan
