Our Goal
The goal of our program is to provide a safe and productive environment that enables girls from 5 to 16 to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship. We facilitate the development of strength and character in every child that participates. Participation in our program is open to all girls in the Harford County area.
We are sustained by the efforts of volunteers who display an extraordinary amount of commitment and hard work, ensuring that our program is a positive influence in the lives of our children. We also strive to provide a service to our community by providing a healthy outlet for children, opportunities for the community to gather together, and endless hours of entertainment.
Sportsmanship Teamwork Strength Character Discipline Dedication
We welcome all children, regardless of race, creed or national origin.
Our program is registered as a non-profit organization with the Bel Air Recreation Committee. We appreciate the generous support of the community, local merchants, and civic organizations.
