New U7 or u8 Challengers team
Brian Penn has 16 kids aged 6-8 playing indoor this winter.  They are the New Challengers Red and Challengers White teams.   In spring they have the 11 origional kids playing u8 or u7 NISL.  There is a wait list of another 5 kids who are looking for a coach.  These kids are quality players who just found us after others who started earlier.  If we can find a coach they could be added as a new U8 team for spring 08.

How to request membership to a Challengers Google Group
Here is the best way to go about adding people to a google group.  Note that my opinion about the best way is the least work for me.  It is also the least error prone.
 
Direct the person to the groups website, for example:
 
Have them apply for membership, for example:
 
 
Finally, have someone that I know give me a heads-up via email or call up if they want to join so I know the request is coming from a trusted person and not just some marketing scam. 

Once they request a membership Jim E and I get an email that allows us to easily approve thier application for memebership in that group.

Thx, Don
