We will be hosting the annual Titans Cup (14+U) tournament the weekend of January 30-February 1, 2009, at the Nepean Sportsplex. All of our Academy players will participate in this event, as well as a number of our ILWP players. We require a volunteer Tournament Chair to handle the logistics and planning of this event. We have templates and samples from previous events. This person would work closely with the Titans General Manager.
