Thank You, Thompson park!!! :)

We want to THANK Thompson Park in Monroe Township for allowing us to have GREAT practices at their field since October!!!!

We are from ALL over NJ so we try to find a middle point where we all can meet up. Thompson Park in Monroe Township seems like the best place so far for all of us to meet. It's about an hour drive for most of us. The park has 675 acres of land! It has different types of fields which is compatible for us. As much as we LOVE Thompson park, we decided that will try to change locations from time to time. Our next one probably will be in South Jersey.



We want to show our appreciation to Thompson Park and by doing that, we will share on what Thompson park has to offer. Go and visit!!!

PRAX ~ June 13, 2010

Vultures just had our flag-football practices last Sunday, June 13. The weather was VERY hot & humid!!! It was suppose to rain in the evening so we started around 11am and practices all the way to almost 2pm! We did several drills (some of them are even FUN!) and did a scrimmage at the end. GREAT PRAX! We all were very busy for the past month and did not have practices for almost a month. We were very impressed with ourselves that we were able to have a GREAT practice, especially in a weather like THAT!
