2019-20 House B & JV Tryouts!
House C registration coming soon!

When registering for a Kwings team that you have made for the 2019-20 season, these tips may be helpful:

• Make sure there is no space to the left of your USAH # when you get to that part of the registration process (especially if you cut and paste the number in), and hit "verify"
• Once the USAH # is validated, it populates the fields for you. If there is a zip code plus 4 (49009-7118), you need to delete the last 4 digits and the dash so only the 5 digit zip code is entered.

Also - you'll need to choose the amount you want to pay (full amount or commitment fee) BEFORE choosing the payment method once you get to that screen.

If you're still having issues, email us and we can help:

SIGN UP HERE for KOHA's 2019 Summer Shot Challenge

GOAL: To have our players improving their shot over the summer with a FUN challenge! They must shoot at least 100 pucks a day for five days each week. It's a 10-week challenge, so at the end of the challenge, those participating will have taken at least 5000 QUALITY shots!

Summer Shot Challenge starts: Monday, June 17
There is a video explanation by Kyle Bushee on KOHA's YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/fPliZueTfbs

Simply sign your player up here and START COUNTING SHOTS! There is a tracker sheet below that indicates the shot assigned for each week (and only the shots assigned will count for that week).

While the challenge is 100 shots a day for 5 days each week, please keep track of any extra shots in a day. While those extras will NOT count as a bank of shots for later use, we would love to know how many shots the kiddos are actually taking!

If you have any questions, email Steph at s.dukes@koha.com

Let's shoot pucks and have some fun this summer!
