Who will be the coach?
We have many great coaches! At the time of tryouts, we may not always know which coach will be assigned to each team, as many of our coaches are also involved with area high school programs. If we know the coach at the time of tryouts, we will let you know that information.
Do you Provide any payment assistance on fees?
We do offer a great fundraising opportunity to help offset the fees. We also will offer payment plans if necessary. There are other great opportunities to help raise money like GoFundMe!
