Ruggapalooza has become a tradition for many teams and is a GREAT kickoff to your fall season.  
Most teams have only practiced for a few weeks at that point and an early season tournament
serves as an opportunity to smooth out the rough edges.  Your rookies get a chance to practice
their new skills in real-time game situations.  Your vets will appreciate being able to observe other
teams playing styles as they get pumped up for fall league play.  

Won't you join us this time?  You thought about it last year and really missed out.  Don't make that
mistake again.

Back by popular demand!  This package was a HUGE hit last year.  Everything is set up and taken
down for you.  No one is stuck running to the store in between games and more importantly, your
team isn't broiled in the blazing hot sun.  
Coaches, presidents and match secretaries:  Your
team will thank you for reserving this and packages break down to as little as $4 per player!  In
ancient times situations like this one were affectionately dubbed "no-brainers" because even the
village idiot was able to determine it was a great deal.

►       Double tent section(20 x 40)
►       Additional tables and chairs as requested
