Philly Invite

By Patrick | Published: August 1, 2010

3-4 weekend performance at our home tournament provided good insight into where we need to focus most at practice.  The tournament ran well thanks to the terrific volunteer efforts of several vets. Looking forward to a few more practices and then Chesapeake and Sectionals as AMP 2010 starts to take its final shape.

After qualifying as the 5th place team at 2009 UPA Club Nationals, AMP traveled with a 17-person roster to Prague for the 2010 World Club Championships. The team enjoyed a great week playing opponents from Brazil, Spain, Austria, England, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States. After losing in quarters to eventual champions Chad Larson Experience, AMP finished 7th overall, proud of our performance representing Philadelphia at our first international tournament.

Season Debut at Boston Invite

By Patrick | Published: July 13, 2010

AMP traveled to Fort Devens, MA on June 26-27 for our first tournament with this year’s team. Building consistency throughout the weekend we finished 4th overall after 4 wins and 3 losses. AMP showed great mental toughness in several games, including a terrific 2nd half comeback that fell just short on universe point against RIP in our final match. Looking forward to our next full team event in Allentown, PA for July’s Philly Invite.

AMP 2010

By Patrick | Published: February 4, 2010

AMP’s first practice for 2010 will fall on Saturday, May 8th. That day will follow our usual habit of practicing Saturday morning from 9am to 1pm in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. We’ll sometimes add an afternoon or Sunday morning session for concentrated scrimmaging time or more specific strategy work. We’re welcoming tryouts and returning players to practice on May 8th and 22nd before taking Memorial Day weekend off.

In June, team practices on the weekends of the 5th and 19th will be invite only. We’ll start to identify specific roles within the team and make cuts as necessary, building towards Boston Invite on June 26-27 and Philly Invite, July 17-18 after which we’ll make final cuts for the series roster.
