THRUST WINTER RYC/RJCC

THRUST WINTER RYC/RJCC

February 8-9, 2020

The Eugene Levy Fieldhouse: Rockland Community College, 145 College Rd, Suffern, NY 10901

**Equipment Check Opens Friday 2/7 night from 6 pm to 8 pm**

As a result of suggestions and comments taken from athletes, coaches and parents we will now be using a completely new tournament management team to ensure that each event held at the Winter Thrust RYC/RJCC tournament will run more efficiently. The new team will implement better strip management techniques, which will result in no delays, and an overall better tournament experience for everyone involved.

Our new members include Abdel Aziz, Rasha Abdellatif and Paul Szmaida who are all known for running quality regional events nationwide.

Important Message from the Organizer

Dear patrons of Thrust regional events: I'd like to thank for your support over the years that has enabled our tournaments to grow. To commemorate this season's upcoming Winter Thrust RYC/RJCC event we will be holding a free participant raffle each day with the winner receiving an Apple MacBook Pro! The raffle will occur each day at the start of the last event. In order to qualify, winners must have participated in one of the competitions held the day of the drawing, but will not have to be present to win. Thanks for continued support! On behalf of myself and our new team, we look forward to hosting you in February. Happy Holidays!
