St. Francis Fall Program Options
Greetings Players and Parents,
If we want to achieve our potential as a program and set the tone for not only this year, but the years to follow, lifting and playing box are necessary. Better feet, better hands, stronger players, a team that is more in-synch. In one game of box, players get more touches then most do in an entire tournament. We also go over concepts so when we hit January we don’t have to rehash everything all over again.
For new families, due to CIF rules, we are not allowed to compete under the St. Francis name. Ronin, our club team is what we do in the Fall, Winter and Summer to stay sharp, stay with our teammates and build our game.
This year we are requiring box and lift for our players not in another sport. We have a special St. Francis Rate that will get the boys all lift, trainings AND box tourney dues all in one. For those outside of St. Francis, the cost to do everything in Ronin would be $2,600!

If you have a financial issue, please reach out to Coach Bowers. The Ronin Program is partnered with a non-profit, Creator Sports California, that can sometimes provide assistance for sporting events.
Note: If you would like to pay by check or cash (and not pay LeagueApp Fees) please go through the registration process and do not complete payment. Then contact Coach Bowers for additional instruction. It is important that all players go through LeagueApps as it allows the coaching staff to better communicate with parents and players.
