word on the street...


when asked about the chances of the US team in their first game against England, coach Gavin sent us this:




to which coach Doug replied:
Keep drinking, that's the only way to take the pain away from losing to the US.

  Panini World Cup Sticker Books 

Be part of the World Cup sticker book craze. Last time we had about 20 kids participating, which made it a lot of fun.
Each packet contains 5 stickers and the goal is to fill your album, which presents all participating teams, players, stadia,
mascots and trophies. We bought the packets in bulk from an American distributor and then handed the kids a few packets
each week. In between they were swapping their doubles with their friends. Awesome!

We will have details and signup information come early spring!
