Spring is in the air, on the ground, in the ocean too! (Feb 2025 Newsletter)

Spring is in the air, on the ground, in the ocean  too!
How about some optimism to start the day…the ocean water is warming. Spring ball is underway, Go Padres…our newest team, SDFC, is more than up and running, they are up and winning. The Wave and Reef have a fun jersey collaboration on the books. Australian Football coming soon. The Seals are holding their own in a tough league. The Gulls continue to provide awesome entertainment…Rugby? Legion, of course. Add Snapdragon, Front Wave and Petco, and a not too far distant LA Olympics. Let’s end with one really good thing: the SDSI backed Pro Sport Military Alliance, is up and running with a single website making pro sports available directly to the military community, today, every day. In its very short period since birth, over 8,000 Sailors, Soldiers or Marines have taken advantage of the website ticketing and seen their favorite sport in person. Thank you for your service!!
Love the idea of spring and love it even more when it arrives!
