The DJF equipment shed is south of the High School, next to the shot-put rings. Please park up on the pavement, and do not drive down to the shed.

Reminder also that camp will be taking place this coming weekend, July 25th and 26th, at Panther Stadium from 8AM - 10AM each day. Kids will need to wear shoulder pads, practice jerseys, helmets, guardian caps and cleats during camp- we will wear athletic shorts in place of provided pants for camp.
