    5/12 RSSL Weather Update

    The following email was just sento to all RSSL Families - We wanted to let everyone know that today’s RSSL is still on for all ages groups. Practice times today will be shortened for each age group. So expect games to begin around 12:25 for u8, 1:10 for u10 and 2:10 for u12. This week all age groups are ending early.

    We would ask that parents/guardians as always remain at the field at all times while you child is playing. Please stay tuned as this could change due to the hour to hour uncertainly of WNY weather and the numerous RSSL fields being used throughout WNY.
