Angelina College Weekly Update

Date:

Hey, sports fans,

Our first week of youth sports camps featured plenty of action – and rain. The Roadrunner baseball camp went from the turf on the AC soccer field to the interior of the AC Activity Center just trying to dodge all the recent bad weather – all while keeping the fired-up youngsters ready to play baseball wherever they were.

This coming week will feature youth camps with AC’s Softball, Basketball, and Soccer programs. Yes, we’re still pretty busy around here.

Here’s what’s heading our way:

Focus on FUNdamentals

Angelina College Athletics programs are hosting a series of youth summer camps in conjunction with the college’s “Camp Roadrunner” recreation camps. The camps focus on building both fundamentals and love of the game; instructors include the AC coaching staff and players/volunteers.

The camps are open to youngsters from kindergarten through 5th grade. Cost for each camp is $110. Attendees can make this a full-day camp by purchasing a Recreation Camp “Add-on” for $75.00.) Sessions run from 9 a.m. until noon each day.

Changes, Upgrades Coming to AC Athletics Web Site, Social Media

Angelina College Athletics’ official website (www.angelinaathletics.com) and all related social media will be getting a massive, much-needed overhaul over the summer. Joining our staff are some true website and graphics wizards, and they’re going to help with the redesign and upkeep of all our forms of internet and social media presence going forward.

We’ll send out word once we have everything ready to launch.

Guy Davis Golf Tournament Date, Location Set

The 17th Annual Guy Davis Golf Tournament has a date now, along with a temporary change in location.

The tournament, hosted by the Roadrunner Foundation, serves as the biggest fundraiser for all our AC Athletics programs.

This year’s tournament will take place on Saturday, August 17, with the pre-tournament kickoff dinner taking place on Friday, August 16.

Because of the ongoing course renovations at Crown Colony Country Club – the usual site for the tournament – this year’s golf will take place at the Neches Pines Golf Course in Diboll, Texas.

Crown Colony still will serve as the site for the kickoff dinner.

We’ll send out more details as the event draws nearer.

For any other information, contact Gary Stallard at gstallard@angelina.edu.

We’ll see you at the games.
