First -- watch it dudes, that's my teammate you're talking about Second -- Bill, no defense of the t-shirts! I take the fact that I have to puzzle over a few of them to mean I need to expand my horizons a little. Who knew hamsters and beavers look alike? Third, and perhaps most important -- Alloy will NEVER relinquish the cup!!

Yep, Bill is Alloy's Inside Center. He's an awesome teammate -- even if it does take me 20 minutes to figure out some of those t-shirts

Yep, Alloy will be there. Can't wait guys -- see y'all Saturday!!!

Thanks so much everyone for all of the good thoughts and well wishes -- we really appreciate it! To answer the PC question -- nope, we haven't caught any flak for having a player/coach on an intermediate team. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, particularly the local Elsinore and Perris teams. More than anything, I think people are happy for us and the wonderful opportunity we have in working so closely with such a talented coach and amazing teammate. Despite this recent bump in the road, this has been for me an incredible year with awesome teammates -- can't WAIT to train again (even though it's only been a week )! Caitie

Any inside centers out there looking for a team? Unfortunately, Elsinore Alloy just lost a team member -- but we're looking to bounce back quickly and keep training hard. With John Hamilton (former Airspeed, Lake Elsinore co-DZO) as player coach, this is an excellent opportunity for someone to step into a solid team, with professional coaching built in. And, Alloy just took Intermediate Gold at the latest SSL with an average of 12.2! So, anyone interested in joining a super fun team please contact me at [email protected] or Hammo at [email protected] -- the sooner the better! Thanks!
