Individual squads are encouraged to coordinate their own team-building activities throughout the season. Ideas include more pasta feeds at parent homes and goal kick competitions at Weatherstone Park.
This season's official Team Pasta Feed is on Friday 9/6 @ Lincolnshire Park. All coaches and players are invited to attend immediately following the B/C Squad practice at 7 pm. Booster parents will serve a simple, buffet-style meal so everyone can hang out, talk strategy and carb up for Saturday's matchup with Farmington.

This year's Senior Night is on Thursday, October 3. Senior players and their loved ones stand on the field at halftime during the Varsity game and wave as fans cheer. Each player is introduced by name and jersey number and thanked for his contributions to the team. Loved ones, in turn, receive a flower or small gift from their player as a token of appreciation for the support they've given him over the years.
Ceremony Process:
"Loved ones" are parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, girlfriends, mentors, teachers, coaches, guardians, friends, neighbors, etc. They get free admission to both JV and Varsity games on Senior Night (tell the ticket booth that's why you're there).

V = Entrees
JV = Salads and Fruit
B = Desserts
C= Drinks
Coaches and captains will hand out letters, awards and senior gifts.
