Coaching Position / Girls U10-2 Coaching Staff - In June 2013, Beth Cunningham was given the coaching position of the GU10-2 team.

Beth's daughter was pulled up to GU10-1 and Beth was given a verbal agreement that she would be able to get the coaching position back if her daughter was dropped to the 2 team in the Spring. (Email Tues, July 30 putting in writing that she would be assigned the 2 team in the event that her daughter was dropped).
