Dear Coaches,

I would like to invite each of you and your teams to come and participate in the 2008 USAG Junior Olympics Kentucky State Championships. It has been a great season thus far and we’re looking forward to you participation in the State Championships.

This year prior to the start of the State Championships, Champion will host for the first time, the Kentuckiana Developmental State Championships that will showcase your Developmental and Pre-team kids. It will be Non-sanctioned so no USAG is required. Uniforms can simply be shorts (no longer than the knees) and a fitted t-shirt or polo that is tucked-in. It’s really a fun way to kick of the summer exciting your recreational boys at the prospect of training more hours and then possibly joining your competitive team.
