Summer Program Sign-Up There is still time to sign-up for our summer youth sports! This summer we are offering Instructional T-ball and coach pitch, rookie soccer. For your new athlete (ages 2 1/2- 4) we have Me & Mini Me Soccer and Me & Mini Me Baseball

Coach Tip of the Month:

Accept children's goals for playing-fun, friends, fitness,

participation and skill development-and put those goals first.

Parent/Fan Tip of the Month:

Encourage your child to try and play any sport he or she enjoys. The biggest motivation for kids to play sports is having fun, and they often drop out because they are no longer finding the activity pleasurable.
