What if my daughter plays multiple sports?
Multi-sport athletes are encouraged in our gym. All we ask is they attend ALL tournaments, and attend master coaching practices on Sundays. Any practices missed because of other sports will need to be communicated with their head coach at least a week prior. WWVA respects all sports and request that same respect back.
