    Send me those Jordans when they're to small for you. I'm a size 11.5. Also, great pictures. Looks like you had a great time.

    Size 12 but you could get by with extra socks, unfortunatly, I don't think I'll grow much anymore and if I take care of them these shoes could last me years.

    MS did you see an extra provincal team tryout has been added to the Toronto area (Humerb lakeshore)?

    there's an open tryout at 10:30-12:30 (I think, different department) and then an invite only in the afternoon.

    Basically, the morning will be a jungle and they will get rid of a few before really getting a good look in the afternoon.

    Like I don't know what do you think I should do? Do I need to pay again for the morning one? Cause if I do, I'll wait to see if I made the invite.

    Hmmm,

    Yeah $40 is a little steep...if you think you did your best at the last tryout then maybe wait and see but if you can swing the cost and would like another chance to get in there, then go.

    You really want to get on that U17 team if you want national consideration though, plus the coaching you recieve as a provincal player in amazing.

    The odds of making the U19 team are lessened because at that point everyone knows the major players so U17 is your best bet.

    I'm a full time volunteer. It's my internship, so I'm here 40 hours a week, which when combined with my paying job means I'm doing 65-75 hours a week.
    Hopefully, I can turn this into a paying gig, even if it is only a little bit of cash it would go along way (I actually took food from a food bank for the first time yesterday).

    Two more months and then someone had better start paying me!
