“Being a part of the Kids Grid League was absolutely one of the highlights of my year. There are so many talented youth and teens that don’t often get to let their skills shine, and that Grid floor provided the perfect opportunity for it.
I got to see strangers become friends and teammates, multiple exciting PR’s on lifts and movements, healthy competition and growth, and hard work put in both at our practices, on the players’ own time, and at the matches. It took no time for me to see the work that I put in as the coach pay off as I got to serve some of the brightest upcoming athletes out there.”
