That’s a wrap! Fusion teams competed in the last competition of the season this past weekend in Myrtle Beach. Our Fusion teams had a really great season with a lot of growth for our players, some really great highlights for each team and quite a few in the WIN column. The season flies by so fast. Hoping everyone gets a little rest and relaxation over the spring and summer till we hit the courts again. Next season will be Fusion’s 15th Anniversary. WOW!! Look for some exciting things in the coming year.

On another sadder note, I want to say THANK YOU to Fusion Lead kuru Coach Frank. He has been a HUGE part of the Fusion foundation and system that we’ve built. Leading many coaches and so many players over the past years. His commitment and dedication to the sport and to the Fusion family runs deep with so many great connections that his departure will be felt for a very long time to come. I can’t express how sad I am that he is moving on to the next chapter of his story, but I hope he has so many more great adventures ahead.

I wanted to do a big shindig to show our love and say goodbye, but he of course would like to ride off into the sunset quietly. So please help me in saying thank you to Frank for all his commitment and hard work over the past years leading Fusion. Again, thank you Frank. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Due to the risk of severe weather all practices for tonight have been canceled. Stay safe and good luck at your tournaments this weekend.
