CCM World Invite – Chicago ’24

"On behalf of the OMGHA BAA team, parents and coaches I want to pass along our thanks and appreciation for running a first class event. We have been blessed to attend for a few years now and it remains one of our favorite weekends of the season. A special thanks for inviting us to be a part of the fantastic opening night event. What a treat for the team to be involved on a fun and special night. Your team does a fabulous job of providing the players a great experience. I wish I could extend a thanks and handshake to the whole group, and the countless volunteers, but please let them know we are grateful for the work they put in to make the weekend a success. The referees we had should be commended as well. They were great all weekend, but a big shout out to the crews we had for each game on Sunday. They were fabulous, not only how they called the game and kept the players safe, but also how personable they were to the players and coaches. They all should be commended. Once again, thanks for running another great event. I know there are many to thank, but it starts with the great leadership you provide to make it all run so smoothly. We appreciate all your time and efforts Until next year..."

"First of all - a huge thank you to the whole tournament team. Our experience was absolutely wonderful: starting from all the pre-tournament information until the very last second of the tournament. Everything was so well planned, organized and executed. I can not emphasize it enough. Huge shoutout to your staff at Buffalo Grove!!! Always polite and welcoming!"
