We will open registration very soon - hopefully this weekend. We will allow returning families to register first, and will then open registration to new families.
We expect the season to begin January 31 or early in February, as soon as the new netting is installed at the NPHS field.
Please be on the lookout for more information regarding our parents meeting, which will occur this month.
Lastly, if you are interested in coaching this season (and we are interested in you being interested), please reach out to head coach Romana Danicova (danicova@yahoo.com).
See you soon!
