Parents and Spectators

Please ask your parents and spectators to refrain from yelling at the players at the scorers table. We understand that parents can be competitive at times, but this is also a learning environment for the players and we want to keep a positive environment for them. The proper way to resolve the issue is to first alert the head coach who can then request a score check from the R2 or R1. Keep in mind that the book is the OFFICIAL score and not the scoreboard display.

Tickets

We have gone to a cashless ticket system. Please inform your parents that we will not have any cash available and turned away. Parents and spectators can pre-purchase their tickets through this link:
