Thanks for an awesome season again. Last year only 3 of the girls did Fetch from our team, and all the parents commented on their skills and how they really started the season off so prepared. So this year our whole team joined Fetch. Its great to have program to help the girls get ready and excited for the season ahead. All of the feedback from the girls has been super positive and I am sure they will hit the ground running this season.
