The weather doesn't exactly cool down in the fall around these parts, but the sports offerings certainly heat up! Fall is our busiest season of the year, with offerings in both Tackle and Flag Football, Adult Softball, Girls Volleyball, Cheerleading and Fall Baseball Leagues. Fall is also a good time to pick up a new sport, so why not try your hand at Pickleball?
