It is that time again where we are asking the parents and athletes to give back to the program and help us get new uniforms. It is through your support we can make our program better. We are hosting volleyball playoffs for three days after MEA. Oct 20, 22, and 23 from 4:00-8:00 pm. In the next few years our goal is to upgrade uniforms for all our teams. The money raised from these tournaments goes towards the cost of getting new uniforms for all teams. So it does not matter what sport your child plays right now, these tournaments helps the whole program. We need volunteers for numerous spots each night we are hosting playoffs. 1 working the Score Clock 2 working Admissions 2-4 working concessions. Last year, our basketball playoffs was a huge success. Parents had bonding times with their athletes and athletes had bonding times with each other by forming teams to work these events. It was nice that the athletes themselves were able to give back to the program. Please consider volunteering your time and help support the program.
