This weekend at Discovery Park we have a vendor that will be doing free recovery demos. This is the email he sent me to discribe it. Please let your families know.
-
I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to follow up and give you a quick overview of how I’ll be running my booth at your upcoming tournament later this month.
-
I had a great experience doing this just recently at the Potato Days event in Meridian, and I’ll be setting things up in a similar way. Essentially, I’ll have a booth with a canopy tent and a table displaying all my tools and information about what we do at TRC+. I’ll be offering percussion therapy demos using a massage table and a Hypervolt device. Just to give you a quick idea, percussion therapy is basically a form of muscle treatment that uses rapid pulses from a massage gun to help relieve muscle tension and soreness.
-
I’ll also be showcasing Normatec compression therapy for the arms and legs, which is fantastic for flushing out soreness and improving recovery. For that, I’ll just need to connect an extension cord to keep everything powered throughout the day, which I can supply myself as long as there’s an outlet available.
-
I plan to run free demos all day on Friday and Saturday so attendees can experience these therapies firsthand. I’m really excited to be part of your event and super grateful for the opportunity. Let me know if you need any other details! I’ll attach some photos below from previous events.
-
Looking forward to it,
-
Dr. Jesse

Something new:
This tourney we will be doing a blind pool play draw. It will be a live draw on SM. It will work like this.
-
12 teams in a Div. 12 balls. In order by teams in alphabetical order, a ball will be drawn, that team will be placed in that pool, and repeated 11 other times. If there are 3 teams from the same org they will play each other. The only teams that will be placed in a pool will be the out of state teams that are traveling. I will send out a message to when the pool draw will be. This will be fun and something new for Idaho. Have an open mindset and lets have some fun with it.
Once the pools are picked, the game times will be out within 24 hours.
-
Rules and other info will be out next week. Let me know if you have any questions

Thank you

Cancellation Policy

Fees / Charges

AFA of Idaho (Kemper) Refund Policy
There are no refunds or transfers if the schedule/brackets have been posted, your age division is sold out, or if a team cancels less than 7 days before the start of the event.

Otherwise, if a team cancels 7 days or more prior to the event start date, they may transfer the registration to another event (AFA of Idaho-Kemper) for a credit OR receive a refund, less the 20% administration fee.

If AFA of Idaho - Kemper has to cancel an age division due to not enough teams, you will be entitled to a full refund.

Inclement Weather/Act of God Refund Policy
If an event is lost due to weather or any Act of God, the entry fee will be refunded, less the 20% administration fee.

If two games have already started teams will receive 50% of the entry fee. If more than two games are played there is no refund.


If the city does not cancel the event, and we are allowed a staggered start after the city's field crew gets them to safe conditions, tournament directors reserve the right to delay the tournament start time and shorten games to allow pool/bracket play to still fit within the operating hours of the park


A Division must have 4 teams paid for us to run
If we have not received 4 paid entries a division may cancel. A tournament division is not official until a schedule has been posted and is subject to cancellation if not enough teams sign up. It is our advice when consideriing hotel accomodations or air bnbs is to not book non refundable rooms for an event. If you do book a non refundable room and a division cancels AFA and AFA directors are not responsible for fees incurred by your team. Always check to make sure a schedule is out before your cancellation date expires with your accomodations.
