 NO DOGS are allowed at ANY GCSC games or practices.  Although we love dogs, we do not love the messes they leave or the potential dangers to our players.  Also keep in mind that some people have a fear of dogs, no matter how cute or tame, and we want all of our players and spectators to enjoy the games and practices.

Thank you!
