MS Schedules Up- Bus Times TBA- REFS NEEDED!

The schedules online are the most up-to-date at this time, including MS Sports. I am waiting on a JV Boys Soccer issue, so that is not posted at this time, but their first scrimmage is August 19th @ Hazen 4PM.

Bus leave times will be posted by early next week. What we need now are REFEREES! We need Refs for Freshman Soccer, JV Soccer, MS Soccer, and JV and MS Field Hockey. If you know anyone, or if you are interested in doing this yourself, we'd love to hear from you. Please call the Recreation Department for further information and available spots 253-6138 or Brian Kaplan @ 498-4578. This could be a great part-time/side-job for anyone who knows the general rules of the game.
