Thank You for 2015! Let’s Make IPL 2016 Huge!
From IPL President & Founder, Ben Yosef
IPL’ers!
Thank you!
• I would like to take a moment to thank all who participated in, helped at, or supported any of our four 2105 competitions! You have all helped to set the tone and standards for the league and you really set the bar high!
Early Adopters
• The IPL was announced in May of this year and our first contest event was held in August. As a Contest Prep Coach (now retired) and competitor (maybe again someday:) for 10 years I know all about having a set plan and schedules for myself and my athletes. Every November I would look at contest schedules for the coming year and commit myself and my team to a very specific list of shows. So, to have all of you “early adopters” hop into our 2015 shows is an honor for me. READ MORE
