MYSL is committed to working with parents to create a fun and safe environment for kids to play in. Parents are essential in ensuring their children have a great experience every week of the season. We encourage parents to become active in the MYSL by cheering their children on during a game, bringing snacks or becoming a coach for their child's team!
The more prepared you are as a parent, the more your child will get from this experience.
