If possible for the first practice and organizational meeting, please register online with Venmo in order to shorten the length of our first organizational practice and meeting.
The cost to attend the national meet with the Brocaw Blazers is very inexpensive. The cost for each individual to go to the national meet usually ranges from $150 - $275 depending on the location. This includes all bus transportation, food, lodging and entry fees. Team membership is separate. Parents are always welcome to attend the national meet with the team at almost the same cost. The national meet trip is an integral part of the Brocaw Blazers team experience. The bus trip to the national meet is especially important to build team unity but more importantly build friendships for life!
If you have any other concerns, please contact Coach Ramsey at (913) 489-9821. Remember he does not use text messaging!
Membership in the Brocaw Blazers consists of both competitive and training levels. All coaches volunteer their time so that we can keep the expense of membership down in order to allow more athletes to attend the national meet. There is no administrative fee.
