Thanks to the strong early interest in officials training, we’ve added multiple additional training opportunities across the league to help teams get fully staffed and ready for the season.

We also had a great kickoff session at Bartram Springs, with nearly 30 volunteers trained as Stroke & Turn Judges thanks to Gary Sowell’s leadership.

👉 Please share this with your families and encourage volunteers to attend one of the sessions below.
