    • 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm: Beginner—student is familiar with the basic rules and movements but rarely plays
    • 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm: Intermediate—student plays occasionally and wants to improve


Space is limited; registration is required. To register: please email Colleen at colleen@jplri.org. Provide the child's name, grade, and skill-level. When registering, you are signing-up for all three sessions.
