We have made significant progress on our U15 & HS division evaluations this past weekend. Our evaluators were in the gyms over 12 hrs on Saturday & Sunday! A shout out to both Greg & Sabrina Redl and Frank & Kim Formella, our rockstars that made the weekend happen alongside our Board Members, filling any and all gaps where we needed!
- U15 & U17/U19: Round 1 is now complete, as are the Div 1 Call-backs. Stay tuned for further details on any additional call-backs after the long weekend (Feb 25+) and team selections.
