Warrior home games are played on fields in our territory. Some past fields have included: Northgate H.S., Carondelet Athletic Complex and Clayton Valley Charter.

We need volunteers. Parents are required to be involved in whatever way they can. Parent volunteer time averages around 10 hours for the season. Some examples of parent volunteer jobs are; coaching, team manager, field maintenance, game set up and take down, score keeping, special events, etc.
