U-13 Girls Travel Team

New and experienced players are welcome to play on the U-13 girls travel program. This is a great age to get introduced to this fast and exciting game - players need not have any experience.  The team is open to all students located in Williamstown and surrounding towns and states who meet the age requirements. Teams from neighboring towns and states are invited to join our in-house and travel teams in playing in this fun-filled event. We welcome and encourage parents with interests in helping by volunteering either as coaches, team parents or with coordinating the year-end Jamboree.
