Our goal is to ensure that youth learn the fundamentals of the sport, have fun as well as build lasting memories. Players will also have the opportunity to build strong relationships with the other players on their team and develop teamwork and leadership skills as everyone strives toward a common goal and purpose.

Schedules: Practice days & times will be determined closer to the start date of practices, once team rosters have been finalized. Practices will begin in early April and games will begin in early May. All age groups will have games on Mondays & Wednesdays.

Each coach is required to submit and pass a background check. It is important that coaches teach sportsmanship as well as specific sports skills. If you would like to volunteer as a coach, please contact our Athletic Supervisor at (336) 570-6718 or by email.
