Hear from parents and players about their experience with the Wizards.
“The Wizards program changed my daughter's life. Not only did she improve as a player, but the life lessons she learned about teamwork and perseverance have made her a better person.”
“Coach Rimando's dedication to developing young athletes is unmatched. My son learned more in one season than in three years of other programs.”
