U14 FRIDGE CALENDAR
The fridge calendar is now available on Team Pages. Athletes may register to extra training days with the office before the Sunday of each week.

TEAM PAGES APP
Our Team Pages App is up and running and has outlines all events happening in our U14 Division Calendar. We ask that each athlete get into the habit of using the attendance feature to indicate whether they will be attending events.

This is our hub, and all information will flow through this platform for the duration of the season. Events will be updated as our plans change, so please do your best to check all events before showing up; ensuring you have the right gear for a successful session!
