We can’t wait any longer, the rains are messing with our plans. The lower school soccer intramural program will start this Monday, March 4

At the middle school level, their next contest is also on Monday (2:45 at Cubberly versus GISSV). They will play Tuesday, at Cubberly versus Hausner 2:45; and then Wednesday here at Armstrong vs. Waldorf (2:45), their first home game (barring rain). Real busy week for the older soccer unit.

It’s time to hit the mats. The next practice for those interested in this sport is Thursday, March 7
