Dear Dojo Reps,
Next year, SCKF will be sending our top kenshi to the 2020 AUSKF Championships in Detroit. Attached is the Team SCKF Application Form. Please fill out ALL fields for interested participants including AUSKF ID and email address. Minors will need to provide one of their parent's email address along with their name.
The cost is $25 per participant. The cost will populate once you enter the name.
Also at the bottom of the form, fill out the number of bentos your dojo would like to order.
Shinpans will get a free bento but it will be $10 each for everybody else.
The total amount owed will be calculated for you.
Please send a check postmarked by 9/21/19 to:
Southern California Kendo Federation,
2619 Mary Street,
La Crescenta CA 91214
In addition, upload this completed file to the Google Drive/to_sckf folder just like the membership file. Do not email the file for security reasons (birthdates are included). Please make sure to let anybody that might be interested know and submit this file by 9/21/19. LATE APPS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The location is TBD depending on how many applicants we receive.
Finally, please encourage your senseis to participate as shinpans. There will probably be at least 20 senseis that will not do shinpan since they will either be participating or will be coaches, and we would like to make this tryout as fair as possible.....so we definitely need the support of some high level shinpans!
GO TEAM SCKF!!!
Sincerely,
Kevin Tadasu Abe
