Dear Coach,

Greetings from beautiful Maryville, ! We hope this note finds you and your team doing well as you prepare for the summer months. As the summer vastly approaches, Northwest Missouri State Mid- America Youth Basketball Slam N’ Jam is finally here, and we would like to personally welcome you and thank-you for choosing our tournament to attend this year. We are excited about the competition of this year’s tournament and know that your players will gain valuable playing experience.

We have included more detailed information about the Slam N’ Jam on the following pages. We ask that you do two things while here in Maryville. The first is that you don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Our second request is that you enjoy yourself. This should be an exciting weekend, and we want to do everything possible to assure you and your players have a great visit here at Northwest Missouri State and in Maryville, Missouri.

In short Coach, we are here for you this weekend!
