Description:
Teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and self-confidence are just a few of the skills practiced in team sports, which can be crucial to personal success on and off the court. This noncompetitive league focuses on fundamentals and equal play for girls and boys. The girl's season takes place in the fall and the boy's season in the winter. All practices are held at various school locations. The 3rd-8th grade practices are scheduled on weekday evenings.
