Parents:

The opening ceremony will be this Saturda, 4/17 at Dunbar park at 8:45am, assuming no rain. If there is rain, we will play indoors on Saturday with no parade. Weather looks good for practice outdoor practice all week. The opening ceremony will include player parade, face painting, balloons animal and balloon release. The team balloon traveling the furthest will win that team a free pizza party at the end of the year. Last year’s balloon ended up in Tibet. Team parents, please help arrange a banner for your team.
