Booster Club Future in Question

Currently the Booster Club has many beneficial aspects for all MTC students, however, the benefits are being vastly underutilized. It seems that the Booster Club could benefit from a restructuring of sorts. The May 13th meeting will be important to the future of the organization.

On May 13th from 6-7PM the MTC Booster Club will under go some restructuring. We implore all families to come to this meeting to be a part of the future of the organization.

Our wish is for this organization to remain strong and be driven by parents and students at MTC. There are great opportunities to add depth and meaning to the lives and martial arts experiences of current and future MTC students, so we encourage all MTC families to be involved.

Join us in the office on May 13th from 6-7pm.

Spring Tournament Action

Upcoming Dates

• April 4th--Philipsburg


• April 18th--Billings


• April 25th--Livingston


• May 9th--Great Falls

Spring is already underway with our own FUN Tournament and with the Bozeman AAU Qualifying Tournament. Within the next 5 weeks there are some great tournament opportunities.

First a great small invitational on April 4th in Philipsburg. For those who are not Spring Breaking this will be a fun tournament.

The three tournaments we recommend to all students, but especially beginners are Billings on April 18th, Livingston on April 25th, and Great Falls on May 9th. The Livingston and Great Falls tournaments are great for all level competition and are historically run very well.

We most highly recommend the Livingston Tournament for 3 reasons--it is always very well run; they give trophies for 1st,2nd and 3rd place participants; and reasonable cost($40-$55).
