This is the third year we are offering this amazing opportunity for our 3rd & 4th graders to learn and grow more before going on to our middle school team. We have two teams- Intermediate GIRLS Team & Intermediate BOYS Team. This team is coached by Cliff Murch. 

They practice once a week at our gym from 3 – 4pm beginning on Wednesday 12/04, and then play one game a week against some Waterboro Rec teams at their facility.

We strongly encourage anyone who is interested to attend a Varsity or Middle School game (or two) this month. It can be a lot of fun and the players LOVE seeing friends and family show up. 

We look forward to this fun time with the kids & hope to see you all there! Go Knights!!
