Practice Locations:
The Program is centred out of the town of Stonewall, with both practices and games being held at our home field located behind the Stonewall High School.
Getting Involved:
We need all kinds of people to get involved. First of all we always need interested people wanting to coach. We have a Board of Directors, and are looking for people interested in sitting on it. We will need volunteers and we will organize fundraising for the program. We are also looking for businesses that might be interested in sponsoring the team. With that they will receive recognition on the website, in game programs, from announcers at games and in other ways that can be negotiated. By sponsoring a team this size your business gets its name out to a lot of people. Don't miss this opportunity!
