Coaches

I am looking for coaches. If your interested in coaching please let me know. I already have three very knowledgeable and qualified coaches on-board. I anticipate a very experienced coaching staff.

COACHES MUST ALSO REGISTER ON-LINE

Registration

On line registration for session 1 is now open.  Go to http://farnorthll.bonzidev.com/sam/registration

You can also go to http://www.farnorthll.org/ and follow the registration link

I will open session two in mid October

Note: When you register you will be requires to check the $25 field fee button. This is a hold over from the summer session that I cannot easily change. I have put a discount in the registration process that will offset the field fee.

Older Players

Due to limited space I cant accommodate the older kids during Session 1. If 12U players are interested I can secure practice times so these guys can continue skill development during Session 1.

If time becomes available I may be able to create a 12U division for the second session.

Thank You
