A Step Ahead's HotShots

The age range is from 18 months to 12 years of age. Before the league starts they offer free clinics to learn the basics of the sport. You will save a little money registering online instead of in person. Registration includes a shirt, and a trophy. Every participant gets the same trophy no matter how they place in the finals. Jaq, his wife, and children are all involved, but they do ask for some parents to volunteer as coaches to keep the costs down. Our children have enjoyed the basketball, indoor soccer and baseball many times. The best advantage of this league is that the commitment is two months rather than the extended season of other leagues.
