All Programs will be 6 weeks long on Wednesday or Friday nights. There are typically 2 Waves, the first starting roughly in mid-May, the other starting in July. Costs for the Programs is below.
If you have not done so before, you must sign up for TeamSnap using the links provided (once the Programs are set) before registering for the actual Program.
Be prepared to play beach. Dress for the weather. No shoes required. Bring lots of water. You will need sunscreen and bug spray.
NOTE: We recognize that not all children will enter the pathway at the same age or athletic skill level. Also, not all children will develop at the same rate once they enter. The key is that they are in a program appropriate for their skill level and that they feel comfortable socially. Recommended ages are guidelines only.
