Winter Field Space Update

Ampro Fieldhouse-- a facility that had been a key partner in supporting our leagues for years-- closed its doors this year. With its closure, we have had to make adjustments to our operations, including finding alternative venues that can accommodate the number of players and teams in our leagues. This post goes into detail about how this impacts our winter leagues this year.
