Sorry guys. There will be no open gym tonight - however, I will be opening the gym at SMS on Wednesday, August 3rd from 6:00 pm to 7:30. I will divide the gym in half - younger players on one side and older players on the other. Take advantage of the opportunity and make the effort to attend to work-on skills or play 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3 4 on 4 or 5 on 5. Phone your teammates and encourage them to come out! Each player needs to bring a friend/teammate.
