Super Sonic Rice Bags for sale - $15 each!

Enjoy the cozy warmth of a microwaveable rice bag to soothe sore muscles, warm chilly fingers and toes and take away aches and pains.  It’s about the size of a hot water bottle, and will last for years – even if used daily.

The bags are constructed of blue denim and filled with rice.  They usually take about three minutes to heat in a microwave.  Note the volleyball ribbon detail on the bag – it can be ordered in green, yellow or pink with white volleyballs, or bright rainbow stripes (no volleyball).

U15 Tryout Time Change

The time of the U15 tryouts, which are scheduled for Sunday Nov. 11th, has changed. Instead of 4-6pm they will be held from 2-4pm. The venue is still Ecole du Sommet.

Sonic Try-out Fee Clarification

The $5.00 try-out fee is a one-time player fee per team they are trying out for.

Example:

If your daughter is trying out for 1 team only (eg U16) they pay the $5.00 once for U16.

If your daughter is trying out for more than 1 team (eg U16 and U15); she would pay $5.00 for U16; and $5.00 for U15 try-outs.
