Men's volleyball, young men's Futsal Tournaments CHANGES!!!!!

                                          Men's  Volleyball tournament
                                               Thursday  Nov. 30, 2017


Remember the first rule of SAMS  Sports it to be flexible.   I just found out that  Paul Zoellenger  is  
Going to be in Utah  thus  NSP  will not  be playing in the tournament,   So we had to rearrange the schedule  on the St Paul Building side of the bracket.,  Blaine  being  the co-top seed along with  Elm Creek will get a first round bye.   The brackets have been changed to reflect the changes

     Welcome to the volleyball tournament
All Match's  at  Two out of three  all  games to 25 win by two or first to 30. Rally scoring.
Rock /paper / scissors  to first serve (winner gets choice serve or side)  do it again for Game 3
Substitutions:  three choices, determined before each game.
       a)   Traditional  one for one  substitution,  two players  trade at  the same serve rotationspot
       b)   Standard  church  rotating  in and out.
       c)  Hybrid,   You  can  keep  one or more players  on the court  the whole time staying in
      their  same service rotation spot  and rotate  in  the remaining serve rotationspots.
(this method  was designed to allow  a  team to have many players participate while keeping
their  team competitive)
   A  team  must have at least half the players on the court be  LDS church members  or siblings  
 to a  Baptized  LDS  church member.
Have Fun and good luck

Week 3 Oct. 5, 2017

Week 3 Oct. 5, 2017
      After two weeks we hav not had a real Futsal game yet. We are not sure if it is for lack of interest of lack of the schedule being communicated.   I have been kind of out of it with a funeral and a conference trip, so we will not schedule any futsal games this week,  please contact us if you have a team with interest. We will only have a 6 week season followed by the tournament if there is interest. Please text me if your ward has interest Gary 612-202-6393.


Men's volleyball:

At St. Paul
                   Court 1.                     Court 2

7:45.    MG/SC.                   EC/TC2
8:30      Blaine/TC2.          

*.  It appears as if the Anoka/Anodover wards will not be able to field a team this year, Lake No Komi cannot play this week be can in the future, so it appears as if we only have 6 teams.
     I want to have a quick meeting at 8:30 and decide what we want to do.
Playing double headers mean we play each other a lot.  There are a couple teams that can play in the tournamnent.
    Think about it and let me know your feedback Thursday.

Congratulations Dana Oelkers 2017 SAMS LDS GOLF CHAMPION

.       Dana  Oelkers became the first 4 time winner of the SAMS LDS GOLF TOURNAMENT  Shooting a 4 over 76 that was also enough to on his own win the team competition for Shingle Creek.
    The weather was threatening as it rained 20. Minutes before the start. But it stopped and the weather was wonderful until a short drizzle at about the 17 th hole. But it stopped and we were able finish.
   Jared Moll from the Maple Grove ward won the "ABD" trophy (anyone but Dana) shooting an 81.
Fun was had by all.
     Net year we are tentively planning two tournaments one early in he year . This one will be a four man scramble  team competition probably at Hayden  Hills golf course, which is one of the easiest courses in the state. (They have a 195 yard par 4).  The scramble format means you play as a team everyone tees off and you decide which ball location is best for the second shot, then you alll shoot your second shot from that location. This format on on this golf course might produce  your best score ever. It also Isis. Fun for the beginner golfers.

 Jared Moll  2017 ABD (anyone but Dana)  2017 SAMS LDS  champion

One shot one shot only winner

Last minute update

i just talked to the Brook View people and their radar says the weather should be fine.
  We will compensate if the tournament is stopped by rain, we will determine the winners by who has the best score compared to par at which ever hole they had to stop. But for now they are letting the carts out and we should be able to finish.

Come for the fun fellowship friendly competition and valuable prizes

Golf tournament update/ volleyball/ futsal schedule week one

Golf:
      Looking at accuweather which, since I am a painter I relay on a lot forecasts thunderstorms later in the afternoon or evening, however the chance of rain is only 35 percent until 6 pm  and goes to 50 percent from there.
  With that in mind let's continue the tournament starting at 2:00 at Brookview, $21 to walk, $31.50 to ride, and we may have to shorten the tournament to 9 holes. Or we will play 9 holes and reevaluate from there.
     We will see you then.

futsal,volleyball, golf update

    Hi all, I just heard the fair starts tomorrow!! Which means Sept is a week away, which means our sports seasons crank up.

      Thursday Sept 14, 7:00 at the Anoka stake center is the Futsal/ men's volleyball meeting. Players and coaches and anyone else interested is invited. We will find out which wards have teams, discuss rules, and set up the first week' so schedule. The games start  Thursday Sept 21.Spread the word.



SAMS LDS GOLF TOURNAMENT
  Sat. Sept  16, 2:00 (twi-lite rates)
   Brookview golf court in golden valley.

New this year we will have team competition! Along with the individual tournament.
 How team competition works, each team (ward) will have 4-3-2 or even on player on the team. Everyone plays their own ball and keeps their own score, but the best score of the team on that hole will be the teams score.  Not a scramble but low ball for the team score.
    For example if there ar four of us and one gets a 6 one gets a 5 one gets a 4 one gets a 3. Each player records their own individual score counting towards the individual competition but the team score will be "3".  This was even the novice individual can stay engaged.
   We will still have the individual skills competition, and play by " atonement rules".
   We have to have firm commitments by Thursday the 14th.
$21 to walk and $31.50 to ride, pay at the course.
  Fun fellowship competition, and now teamwork!  Spread the word.
