If you are placed on a team, there is a cost of $90.  This covers school and team registrations, and a t-shirt for the team member.  Here is the parent agreement form that must be signed when your student is placed on a team:   parent agreement form

Teams consist of seven students, placed with a parent coach.  We will place as many students on teams as we have coaches.  Are you interested in becoming a parent coach?  Click below!
