A fun Trophy Night
closes out 2008 Instructional season

Syosset, NY 16 June 2008—Trophy Night was a tremendous success, playing to a packed house at H.B. Thompson Middle School, where it all began six short months ago at Registration.

As always, refreshments were served, pictures and--of courses--trophies were handed out to every player who showed up. Very few girls actually missed the event, and the parents, brothers and sisters and players all had a great time.
