CONTACTING THE TD: ================== PARENTS: I am not saying that you cannot contact me directly, but PLEASE go through the team coach or club director first, they may already have the answer. Parent calls in the past have become EXTREMELY overwhelming in number, extremely redundant in nature, and most could have been better handled by the club coaches and/or directors. If you have any questions please contact Ken Nelson by . . . . . . phone at 814-490-2935 (feel free to text) . . . e-mail me at ken_nelz@msn.com In all communications please identify yourself, club, team, and the SPECIFIC date AND age group of tournament. I am running the same age groups on multiple days and sometimes running multiple age groups on the same day. Without a specific date and age I will not know the tournament to which you are referring!
