Practice times and locations for Sunday, January 22nd have been updated. To accommodate a youth basketball tournament at the schools in Ripon, practice times have been moved later and shortened to two hours. Please see the January Schedule on our website for up to date practice assignments.
The first of our two Riptide Open events is right around the corner. It will be held at Berlin High School on January 28th and 29th. All teams, except our 13's, will be playing that weekend. Assignments for teams to work the concession stand have already been sent to your coaches. A huge THANK YOU to the 14 Blue team for being the first to complete and return their signup form! We are looking forward to seeing all of you in the gym soon!
March seems so far away, but as we get into the swing of our tournament season it will be upon us before we know it. Riptide 13 Blue, 15 Blue and 15 White will be competing on March 17 and 18. This event will be held at the Wisconsin Expo Center (the State Fair Grounds). The 14 Blue, 17 Blue and 17 White teams will compete on March 31 and April 1, and their event is hosted at the Frontier Airlines Center in Downtown Milwaukee. Riptide VBC arranges for hotel rooms for your coaching staff. However, if you plan on staying in Milwaukee overnight I recommend making your hotel accommodations soon. If you have any questions, you can contact us or your head coach!
Riptide 17 Blue opened the season on January 7th at the Midwest Penguin's event in Waukesha. They finished the combined 17's and 18's age group event with a third place finish. Riptide 17 White also got their season off to a strong start this past weekend by taking home the Silver Division championship at Block Party VBC's January 8th event at Milwaukee Luthern High School.
The rest of Riptide hits the court for their first tournaments of the season this weekend. Riptide 15 Blue will be in Stoughton for the Capital Volleyball Academy event on January 14th. Meanwhile, 13 Blue and 15 White are at Fond du Lac High School on January 15th and 14 Blue will be at UW Oshkosh on January 15th as well. Good luck this weekend to all our teams!
