Entry fee is $250 per team. The fee will take care of a four-game guarantee, T-shirts for all players, water, drinks,  and lunch for coaches and players during Saturday’s pool play. To enter, send an entry form with school name, head coach, email address, number of athletes and coaches attending, and school and cell phone number to Garrett Uekman Foundation, P.O.
