Give Coach Jorge a lift home Monday night?

Coach Jorge is traveling to Houston for some passport paperwork this weekend, returning into the Albuquerque Sunport at 10:30 pm on Monday.

If anyone’s available to help out with a lift home, that would be a huge help. Send an email or talk to Jack.

Referee clinic?

We’re gathering names and figuring out some dates. If you’re interested in learning how to ref, talk to Jack or Dan. If there’s enough interest between NMFF and Duke City, we’ll be able to bring in Mark Stasinos to lead a clinic.
