SEASON SCHEDULE (Posted on TeamSnap Calendar:)
We really need full attendance for July practices to prepare for the season properly, and ask that only church summer camps or mission trips be the reasons for missing practices or games during the season.  

Games begin on the first of September and continue until the end of October. We will be playing local games, and most games will be on Thursday nights.

EXPECTATIONS OF THE ATHLETE

• Wear the proper uniform requirements.
• Be respectful to your coaches, teammates, and others.
