GOOD MORNING,
Championship Sunday has officially arrived, and it’s a GREAT day for basketball!
First and foremost, thank you for participating in our MAKE IT RAIN event. It has been a true privilege to serve you, your players, and their families this weekend. We hope you’ve enjoyed the experience, and we sincerely invite you to continue being part of future Texas Sports Association events (schedule attached).
As we head into Championship Sunday, please remember that while we all compete to win, every competition comes with both victories and lessons. There are no undefeated athletes or coaches! Let’s continue to show respect, sportsmanship, and positivity—not only to ourselves, but also to the youth who are watching and learning from us.
With that in mind, please remind your parents and fans that disorderly conduct WILL NOT be tolerated. Anyone asked to leave the facility will not receive a refund.
Additionally, if fans have concerns regarding rules, game times, referees, or any event matters, we respectfully ask that they communicate those concerns directly with you, the coaches. Coaches may then bring any necessary concerns to our staff. This helps eliminate confusion and allows us to maintain strong communication and relationships with all programs.
Safe travels, best of luck today. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the gym!
DOORS OPEN @ 8:30
LET’S GO!!!!!
Best,
Texas Sports Association Staff
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE,
WHAT A DAY! First and foremost, on behalf of the Texas Sports Association, I want to thank everyone for a wonderful day of basketball.
But by the grace of God, we made it through!!!!!!!
I truly appreciate each and every one of you for your patience, flexibility, and support throughout the day. Your cooperation did not go unnoticed.
Now that all games are complete, the brackets have officially dropped, and it’s time to move forward with an exciting day of basketball tomorrow!
As we continue, please remember that this is a YOUTH SPORTS EVENT, and we ask that it be treated as such. Whether you realize it or not, every coach, parent, fan, and spectator is a role model for our young athletes. Let’s continue to lead with positivity, sportsmanship, and respect.
I pray everyone gets a great night of rest and comes back tomorrow energized, focused, and ready to support the youth of our community.
Safe travels, and we’ll see you all tomorrow!
KEVIN COLSTON
