latest blog entry about extreme sports for

kids & teens!

We ask that you refrain from parking your vehicle directly

in front of the building while waiting for your athlete.

Please either wait inside or utilize a designated parking space; we're trying to prevent (or eliminate) congestion in the area. We've had situations where customers with disabilities couldn't find parking because those spaces were occupied by waiting cars. Please reserve disability parking spaces for those they're intended for.

Sincerely,

Kyle Pekula- Men’s Developmental Program Director
