Hornet basketball is getting ready to tip-off  the 2012-13 season.  All parents and players plan to attend Saturday, August 25 at 6 pm at the Robinson Ave. Church of Christ in Springdale.  Players must bring two copies of your birth certificate and intent to homeschool form.  See you there.  GO HORNETS!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BASKETBALL? Our 18u boys will be participating at All-Star Sports Arena in Springdale on Saturday July 28th. Come out and support our team…..

Prospective parents and players will get information on the cost, uniforms, practice location and schedule. Prospective players are welcome to come with their parent. This is also a great time to meet the coach, Susannah Bailey. TSHSAA will give a brief overview of the organization and membership. To play a sport the family must become a member, the cost is $45.00 per family. This fee will cover insurance for your child during practices and games. To join TSHSAA , register on the website and bring your membership dues to the volleyball meeting. If you would rather wait to register at the meeting, we will have registration forms available.

Show your Hornets Black and Gold Spirit!

We are putting together a “quick” t-shirt order to have some spirit shirts ready for Tip-Off tourney next weekend.  We will be printing a run of “Hornets Basketball” t-shirts for those wanting to show their team spirit by sporting a Hornets tee!  The t-shirts will be Hanes 50/50 shirts in either yellow gold or white with the black and gold Hornets logo.  They can be ordered in the following sizes:

Youth:    small, medium, large, x-large
Adult:     small, medium, large, x-large, 2x and 3x

We have gotten a great deal on these, so at only $8 each you can order one for every member of the family.  We’ll look bold in our black and gold!!!  Below is what the t-shirt will look like.

T-shirts must be ordered by Wednesday, October 26 to have our shirts by tournament time.  (We will place a follow-up order at a later date if we have several who aren’t ready to purchase now.)  To order, please list how many shirts you want to order, with the size and color (white or gold) of each.  E-mail this information to Tracy Burnett at jatburnett@att.net by noon Wednesday.  Shirts should be paid for by giving coaches a sealed envelope with the list of shirts ordered along with cash or check this Friday or Saturday.

Secondly, all players have the option to purchase a long sleeve, lightweight, poly blend black shirt.  The same logo that is on the uniform shorts will be on the chest of this shirt.   Players can wear these shirts during warm-ups over their uniforms prior to the games.  This shirt is not a tight-fitting shirt, but a nice, loose-fitting, lightweight, athletic round neck shirt.  These shirts will cost $13 each — another great deal.  Presently we are seeking sponsorship for these shirts so each player can have one;  therefore, it is possible those who purchase them now may be reimbursed for this shirt expense (which, of course, means it is possible you will not be reimbursed).  We will not have an answer on this sponsorship in time to order for Tip-Off tourney, so we are giving you the option to purchase these shirts now before our opening tournament.  These shirts may also be ordered by e-mailing jatburnett@att.net by noon Wednesday.  Payment for these shirts should be included in the same envelope as the spirit t-shirts.  Same sizes are available.  Below is the logo that will be on the warm-up shirts.

Go Hornets!!!

After months of hardwork and planning the inaugural season of the Northwest Arkansas Hornets basket ball team is upon us!  Below is a link to the schedule.  While times and some locations are still to be determined we wanted to get this out so you can start planning your schedule.
