On August 2nd, our 14U boys embarked on a trip to Orlando, Florida to compete in the division II Nationals.  For many of our players, it was their first trip ever to the sunshine state.  The team having not played to their potential, faired well.  The experience was an eye opener for some.  While in Florida, the boys shared a great experience at the Kennedy Space Center.  Coach Fields states " I am proud of my players and I look foward to competing again  in the future."  View Photos.
