Arlington County has closed all fields today. There will Eagles Practice at 10am at West Potomac Park in DC. Kids are welcome.
It was a huge first session. We had about sixty boys and girls participate in the first session of Saturday Morning Footy on June 13. It was the biggest session we have had for a number of years.
Thank you to our great volunteer coaches including Mick, Paul, Alex, AJ and Seth. Thanks to all the parents who helped out and the Eagles players for pitching in.
Thanks to Lee-Ann, Alison and Jackie for providing snacks. Thanks to Rachel and Jackie for washing jerseys.
Next session is Saturday June 20 at Bluemont Park.
