As we finish Memorial Day weekend it is important to pay tribute to all of those who have served our country. So many people sacrificed to give us the freedoms that we enjoy today. Please take some time to reflect and pay thanks for their efforts!
Have a great week!

The Kansas City Chapter Steering Committee hosted its first call on April 13th as it looks to commence programming during the summer and launch a kickoff event in conjunction with Sporting KC.
Sporty made its debut at the Women’s Final Four in Minneapolis. Amazing effort by the city to host the games before sellout crowds, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Convention and the Fan Fest at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The city did such a great job hosting that the Big Ten has decided to host future tournaments there.
