Our parent orientation is tomorrow, Tuesday Feb 6th! Please try to attend, it is a mandatory meeting and will help you understand how our program works! You can also pick up your uniform, find out about our Spirit Store, and Fleet Feet will be there with shoes.

Please review our Parent Handbook prior to the meeting!

Please make sure you have competed all the steps for registration:

1) sign up contract

2) complete payment,

3) order uniform, all athletes need a uniform if last years does not fit

4) upload birth document.

If you have done this already, thank you! All links are below and on the website.

We are almost full at this point we are near 300 athletes, so if you know anyone that would like to join please let them know! We will turn off registration when we reach 300.

Jelly Beans/Jolly Ranchers - We offer these at the end of every practice. We ask each family to donate 2 large packages of either of these items. We will also need parents to volunteer to put the jelly beans in a individual baggies, and help hand out at the end of each practice. We will provide the baggies and the scoops! This a great way to volunteer if you can not help at the practice or meet! The athletes love this and it helps replace the glycogen used during practice, and it puts a smile on their face. You can bring this to the parent meeting or any practice!

We offer this to all athletes only, if you would like sibling to take one please bring extra so that we make sure we have plenty every day!!
