Hello,
Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, 4/29 our Home Soccer Game has been moved back to Thursday, 4/30 at Severn River Middle School. We do have a Severn River event starting at 6pm so parking may be an issue on the Severn River side of the building. It is suggested to park in the Magothy River parking lot and walk over behind the school. If you have any questions, please let me know.
