*** Southern Classic Gift Exchange… if you are new to to the Southern Classic… it is a gift exchange tournament.  Each team is encouraged to exchange gifts with the opposing team during pool play and just a great way to show teamship.   In the past, each GSJ team was responsible for determining and organizing that teams gift exchange.  To make it easy and as a great approach to promote our Coastal Classic Volleyball tournament we purchased sunglasses to give out for our GSJ gift exchange.  This makes the process more cost effective for each player and less cumbersome of a process.   The cost is a whopping $10 per player and they will get an awesome pair of sunglasses.  If the teams want to add to the gift such as candy or whatever.. that is up to each team.  You will need approximately 60 gifts.

So please bring $10 and give it to your coach… coaches, please keep track of who gave you what… especially Richard (me).
