Cindy Millison - Head Coach
“Having the opportunity to groom young athletes, teach them life lessons, values and the importance of hard work- how to win with grace and how to lose with dignity but never give up - watch children grow through sports into mature, confident and successful young adults- this is what fuels my passion for coaching. There is no greater gift than knowing you are making a difference in the lives of those you coach.”
