Mercer-Lunsford Basketball League2010-11 House League ProgramCoaches Information Package
Dear MBL House League Coaches,
Welcome to the 2010-11 Season. We continue grow and thrive, and have become the premiere basketball league in Loudoun County. We have a great leadership team in place to allow us to continue to serve the kids of Dulles South. We continue to grow, and with our additions of Buffalo Trail ES and Lunsford Middle School, we are poised to continue to expand our offerings.
The success of our league begins with you, the coaches. The purpose of this packet and this important meeting is to kick off the healthy relationship that we will form between the coaches, board and most importantly, the kids. My door is always open, but I have a great team of volunteers that makes my job so much easier. Have a great season, and thank you for your valuable service to this great community.
Sincerely,
Bill Morris, President and CommissionerMercer-Lunsford Basketball Leaguewww.mlblhoops.com [email protected]
