The Club makes this community service activity very easy and fun to complete. If you have interest or questions, feel encouraged to contact our Micro Director.
Please note that all player(s) will be assigned a practice day during the week that may be difficult to change. Please plan accordingly when signing up your children for other evening activities. Practices are held one night per week but is based on the availability of the coaches. You will find out your practice night in the first email the coach send out to the team.
