A Note From Shirley

When they started building this program a few years back, they dreamed about tournaments, top scores, and giving these kids a place to grow. Never in that first meeting did anyone let themselves imagine that they would be sending all three teams to the NASP Worlds Tournament in the same season.

And yet — here we are. Elementary, Middle School, and High School: all three headed to Daytona Beach in eleven days.

This first edition of the Brownstown Braves newsletter is a snapshot of where we stand, a thank-you to everyone who got us here, and a look at what comes next.

🙏 THANK YOU

To Everyone Who Got Us Here

To the sponsors who wrote checks before they knew if we’d be any good. To the families who drove to Madison at 6 AM on Saturdays and stayed until the last arrow flew. To the coaches who taught form, fixed anchor points, and reminded a 4th grader breathing hard on the line that they were exactly where they belonged.

To every local business who put up a sponsor sign. Every grandparent who bought a t-shirt. Every sibling who came to cheer instead of complain.

You made this program. See you in Daytona.
