  ATTN:  To ALL Jr. Legion and Legion Parents!!! 

    Starting with the 2004 Season, the state is implementing a new rule in regards to player eligibility during the Regional and State playoffs.  This new rule applies to only the Junior and Senior Legion teams at NPAA.  Any player that misses a portion of the Regional or State playoffs will not be allowed to participate when they return.  Church and family emergencies are the only exceptions to this new rule.

    NPAA is advising parents of potential Junior and Senior Legion players to keep this new rule in mind when they plan their 2004 summer vacations.  If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact Terry Stoudt (Senior Legion) or Kurt Weber (Junior Legion).
