Education Director's Minute

Parents, you make this Club work. Shuffling kids around to practices, organizing car pools, paying for your kids to play, volunteering. Without our committed parents the Club would cease to exist. With this type of investment, most of you only want to see your kids having a good time as a return. We are going to do everything we can to make that happen.

Explore the coaches section to learn more about the training we are preparing for your kids. We are engaged this year with Challenger and with our competitive club - the Blast. You're kids and their coaches will have access to these trainers throughout the season. Leave the training to us. The overarching theme to the season is PLAY FAST. PLAY HAPPY. We expect the same from you. We need you for high five's and cheering.
