Intramural Athletic Leagues
(In honor of Bill Green, Sr. and Diane Green)
The Club offers daily athletic leagues in quarterly increments for boys and girls in 2nd-12th grade.   For each league participating members are placed on a team and a schedule is developed attempting to provide the players with 2-3 games per week.  The players manage themselves without coaches and play each team on the league in hopes of winning the Championships. Trophies are awarded to each championship player.  Sign up at front desk or e-mail Matt.
