Messages
Hello Coaches and Parents!
We are very excited for this weekend! A couple of things for the tournament. There are a few games where we do not have volunteers to do the clock or the book. Please make sure to have a designated person in the event that it is one of your games.
As a reminder, we are changing up ticketing this year and offering tickets in advance! Tickets will be available through this link: Tickets. On the payments tab, select Gate Fee under type and there will be an assortment of ticket options for you. Please save your emails, as they will have the QR code(s) for your tickets. Let your team's parents and spectators know that the adult weekend pass is being offered at a cheaper rate online.
Gear for this year can be also purchased in advance through this link: SWISH Gear. The gear will also be available to purchase or pick up at the East Helena High gym during the tournament.
In addition, the Helena School District has asked us to send out the attached flyer about being on the school properties.
We look forward to seeing you all this weekend and hope for a great tournament!
