- Our home games will also require a parent (or two) to operate the scoreboard during a game.  If you know how to push a couple buttons and read directions, you are qualified!  Please touch base with any of the coaching staff if you are willing to help so we can slot people into a schedule.  Thank you!

Use common sense and stay home if you or your child is not feeling well.
