Anybody have kids or know of kids going this year? 15th anniversary of it. Should be another record breaking attendance. I have done pretty good in past years, but this year we have a solid team and no fear of anyone. We have a youth,minor, and a major for my team so we have to move to majors, but we can hang with the best. Singles im looking to do just as well, as im in minors. Our league players that are going to nationals which is 9 so far are getting T-shirts from Schuler which is pretty cool. Doing fund raisers to downset hotelcosts and traveling cost. If anybody would like to make a donation to help some more kids go this year give me a pm or post.
 
Alright thanks. Here's some info of dates and various things.

15th Anniversary Celebration To Take Place "Where It All Began" In Rochester

When the VNEA had its very first Junior Tournament in Rochester in 1991, it was only a dream that 15 years later the tournament would host nearly 1,000 eager pool shooters on 100 Valley pool tables travelling from 20 states, 2 Canadian provinces and New Zealand. But that dream has become a reality and what started as strictly a team tournament has blossomed into a complete package with male and female singles, scotch doubles, artistic pool, speed pool, rack-a-round competition and much, much more. The 2005 event is going to be special... Don’t Miss It!


Age Groups

All divisions will be separated into the following age groups:

Division Age
Youth 9-13
Minors 14-17
Majors 18-20

I was thinking our team should put like azbilliards on our shirts and next year change our name... but we might do some kinda shoulder patch with azbilliards which would look professional.
 
My good friend & teammate Bill"cueball" Skrutsky will be attending with his son "cueball junior" participating in the (youth) 12 division.We live in Erie ,Pa. I'll tell them to look you up they are real nice.Good luck to you and your team.

Tanner Pruess and Shan Lehrkamp, I would like to wish you great victory this year. You both sound very confident and that is good. Keep it up!

I would attend if VNEA would let me play both junior nationals and nationals.

Good Luck and brings some more titles back to SD.
 
Ya that is too bad you can't shoot. You shouldn't be penalized by your age, if you have that ability and desire to shoot in both you should be able.

Hey Tanner...skip the VNEA, and just come to St. Louis to play in a one on one tournament with junior player Justin Bergman.
 
I would love to shoot him, but not for a lot of cash. Right now I'm saving up for other things, but I would play for some if he came here or sioux city, Iowa.

Sorry, I only have permission to match Justin up in the city of St. Louis. I have no idea where the VNEA is but thought you might be traveling thru St. Louis.
Good luck to you at the VNEA.
