’Twas the night before Rose Cup, caps lined up with care, With suits, bags, and snacks all packed up by the chair; The players carb-loaded, then climbed into bed, With fast breaks and goals dancing loud in their heads. “Be there 45 minutes before game time,” the mantra so clear, No rushing, no chaos when game time is near; So sleep up, hydrate, and dream of the win. Tomorrow it’s go time… Turtles dive right in!

The website transition team is working heroically behind the scenes and we are manifesting Summer Session signups on the new platform. However, if your summer calendar looks anything like this temporary admin’s, you have one free 12-minute window on July 28 at 3:40pm and the rest is a full-contact scheduling sport featuring camps, carpools, and emotional support iced coffee. So before the last sliver of your sanity gets double-booked, below is the draft summer schedule for planning, plotting, and preparation.
