Who let the dogs out?

While we love our pets we are asking again to Please leave them at home. The school and the soccer league do not want animals on the field where the children play for safety and hygienic reasons. We again thank you for spreading the word…

Parking Restrictions

REMINDER to: Coaches, Assistants, Parents, and Staff – On Saturday as well as practice nights during the week, please pull down the road and park in the lot. We value our relationship with Albany High and have been asked Not to *Stop & Drop* our kids on the roadway.

They can’t have a bottle neck on that road at anytime with their buses and especially in an emergency situation. Thank you all for your cooperation – Please spread the word…
