Due to the weather, we were not granted the flower garden fields for
Saturday. Consequently there will be no tournament this weekend.
Instead, we will ask certain teams to come to practice on Monday and
Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday. That will come soon. You will all
be refunded your tournament fee money if you paid.

We will be holding an instructional tournament on Saturday August 29th for all new and returning players interested in playing for the club this year. The tournament will run from 11am - 5pm on West Campus Turf Fields (White Course and Atherton Street across from Rec Hall).
Registration will be on Wednesday August 26th at 9pm at Willard Building. Please bring a completed Club Sports Waiver and Hat Tournament form to the meeting along with the small fee to compete. The cost will be $5 per person or $10 for 3 people that baggage together. This will cover the cost of the hat tournament including pizza dinner at 5pm and extra funds will go towards the club's yearly expenses.
Teams will be announced Friday by email and you will be requested to wear your team's color to the fields. Each team will consist of new members, returning members, and 3 veterans as team "captains". These captains will be monitoring players throughout the day and will report back to the team’s Coach and Captains. The first hour and a half of the day will consist of warm-ups, throwing, and teaching of basic offense/defense/rules. From there, teams will compete in a round robin playing 4-5 games. Every player regardless of skill level will receive equal playing time during these games. At the end of competition all players are encouraged to stay and socialize over pizza.
Skill reports from each team's captains will be used to select the first 35 players for the A team. No players will be cut; we are only using tryouts to divide original players between A and B teams. Players do not need to attend the "tryouts" to make the team, but they must be there to place onto the first cut of A team. The A and B team roster will be monitored throughout the fall semester and players may be moved up or down accordingly.
We will be playing on artificial turf fields so athletic shoes or cleats are recommended for playing. You may also want to eat beforehand and bring a water bottle and snacks as we will be playing for around 6 hours. There are two water fountains on location to refill water bottles.
If you have any further questions please attend the meeting on Wednesday August 26th or email:
Keith Stern (Coach) at KeithAStern@gmail.com
Jack Kelly (Captain) at jwk5145@psu.edu
Brian Nevison (Captain) at bln5023@psu.edu
See you on the field,

Welcome to the brand new SPANK website! It's still in preliminary stages, but over the next few months we should be able to make some important changes as we figure out what works best. If you have any questions, just send me an email at niko@psu.edu and let me know what you think!
