I think we were just as excited as Luke to start NWCSRA basketball! It’s been a minute and we really missed our fellow NWCSRA athletes and families. I can’t say enough about how NWCSRA staff and management have shown up for our athletes. Like, literally, they are in the stands cheering for our kids! We’ve seen so much support❤️

The NWCSRA Athletic program has been positive not only for our daughters but for our family. Having a good variety of sport programs allow our daughters to choose the sports they would like to participate in. And as an added bonus the girls have formed lasting friendships with the other participants!
