Together, players/ cheerleaders and buddies enjoy memorable experiences which will last a lifetime by sharing lunch, the banquet and the game.
• Developing our Youth through players, cheerleaders and buddies

Relationships are formed which endure beyond the collegiate career of the player, creating a new “home away from home.”
