My son received recognition for his progress and it encouraged him to continue playing.
June 23, 2023 -
He went in as a beginner and was a little nervous about not knowing anyone there, and he was so happy with his experience. He learned a lot and made some great friends.
June 23, 2023 -
He is a rising 8th grader, and he said the fact that he got to play with high school players really challenged him and made him learn more than he expected to.
