LONGPOINT SAILFISH

Our team operates on the power of parent volunteers! The only paid positions on the team are the head coaching positions. We require all parents to volunteer during the season. Your child will not be permitted to swim if you have not met your volunteer responsibilities or paid the opt out fee ($180 or $240 if after registration closes).
