We are excited to have Information / Registration happen on May 10th, 2018, in the media center at Armstrong High School. It is a fairly easy process, but there are a few steps that must happen, so it is best if athletes and parents can come to the meeting and complete the paperwork while the coaches are easily available. If you want to join, but can not attend the meeting, you can get registered at home, and coordinate any paperwork with the head coach separately.
As always, feel free to email Head Coach Bill Welsh with any questions! bill@armstrongcycleclub.com
