This is the community side of the map. Most of it is pretty self explanatory and really shows how Empire gets involved with different areas of play. I thin the largest thing to take away from this is the "KEEP THEM PLAYING" area of the map.

Empire provides off season clinics and tournaments to keep players playing year around. This allows Empire to stay in season and selling equipment at all times. They provide indoor play during the winter, fall tournaments, and summer leagues. But nothing will top sales during regular season in the spring. 

The other aspect of keeping them playing is the start up clinics Empire provides for school systems that may not have a program at one level or another. Empire is always trying to expand the sport in Indiana and that shows with the free clinics and donation of equipment to the sport throughout the state. There is always the thought that further expansion is really an investment in the company.
