Concessions: This year we are asking for ALL COACHES and TEAM PARENTS to OWN the Concession time for your team. We have a real opportunity to raise money for our league. Last year we missed our mark, and this was due to lack of coverage and openers and closers.. More info to come, but mandatory schedule will be out by end of March. 95% of all teams scheduled for Snack Bar will be during their team games on Moyer “A”, Hatfield Intermediate, and Schweiker. **Team Snack is not needed anymore. FREEZE POPS ARE BACK!!!
