WEBSITE UPGRADES
There are have been a number of changes during the offseason to this website. We wanted to provide an online information resource for players, parents, coaches, and school faculty that tells about all aspects of our program. In addition to also being a useful tool for media press releases, we also hope to utilize the website as a means to market our league to new schools/teams that would be potentially interested in our program. Click here to learn how to navigate this website. There is alot of new information available on the 'League Information' portion of this site. Also take time to check out the new 'History' section of the website that chronicles the previous 28 seasons of our league.
