We will be updating training sign-ups monthly as court time becomes available. Check back often for position options for all ages and levels. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. You will be prompted to pay before the sign-up is complete and NO REFUNDS OR CANCELLATIONS will be given. In the event we must cancel due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. snow day) the session will be fully refunded. Payments can be made with a credit card or bank card. Carefully review the slot you selected; information such as times, ages, team levels, locations, and coaches are often in fine print. Please sign up for only one session. After 48 hours of the posting, if a slot is still open, you can sign up for more. Thank you! |
