Everyone welcome the 11 teams from the Youngstown Afterschool Alliance including our 1st 2012 Rising Stars team!

This now gives us 16 Teams registered with DI-HQ for the 2012 Tournament season!

Are you a parent, Teacher, other faculty member or even a student who knows enough about DI to know you want the program for your school (or organization) but don’t feel you know enough to speak intelligently to folks who determine if you will be sponsored?

Or you have just started a team (or several) and would like to give the parents some idea of what you’re all getting into?

The Region 1 board can help!

We have a dedicated group of experienced Team Managers, District Coordinators, Alumni, and active team members who are more than willing to come out to your group and give a short talk about the program and most importantly, answer those questions you may feel you’re not yet qualified to answer.

Just contact the Regional Director or any Executive Board member to start the scheduling process.
