SHARE THE LOVE

Yes! We will be supporting other sports. Everybody in this school should matter to us. It is your job to find a way to get people to other events. It is your job to have fun and encourage others to have fun as well. If you were on that team, would you want someone there to cheer you on?

COMPETITIONCompetition is expensive and time consuming. It will NOT be mandatory for any team. Instead, we will hold tryouts for those interested in this commitment and have a competition team. Parents of the competition team will be in charge of fundraising specifically for competition.We will most likely be competing in-state this year. We even have a nationals competition in Utah.
