So it makes it a good time to remind everyone to check the hotline message before leaving for practice. With enough notice, the website may be updated with cancellations or changes, but the hotline is primary and most urgent medium to get the word out. This means you should check this often and especially before heading out of the house: Hotline: 412-200-0476 2009-10 Season Begins: Practices Begin This Week; Teams Named Well it's finally here! The 2009-10 season has officially begun with practices beginning this week. Just about every team has been completely filled and were ready to get started. Thanks for everyone's patience during this process. We are a club that offers spots on a team based on tryouts and not just an offer to the club. It is a slightly longer process but we feel it's more fair to all involved. To all of those who tried out and did not make a team, we would have loved to have you but space limitations required us to make cuts this year. One option is to check with other area clubs to see if they have any openings. We hate to see players not playing. Best of luck and see you at tryouts next year. The other option is to sign on with us as a practice player. For only $600, we will have special practices and teams at a lower cost while still receiving training by members of the experienced P3R coaching staff. Info for practice players will be posted soon so check back here later for that. For those who have made a team, please make sure that all your paperwork, deposit and registration is complete and submitted. You will not be able to practice without it. See the post below for more info. Check the website frequently for practice times on our Calendar page and other important information. We are especially proud this year of not only our 13 teams (a club record) or our quality coaching staff, but the great level of talent that we have to work with. Looking forward to another successful year. Keeping with the new tradition of the bridges over our "Three Rivers," team names are posted below with the head coach for that team:
