Thanks to Joe Henderson for coming out to teach us over here at SPC on the weekend! We had perfect weather for our first "main field" event of the year. Everyone had fun and learned some new skills to apply to their gameplay as we get our season going. A real treat to be taught by someone who attained a rating of eight goals during his playing career. Big thanks to Caroline for taking all these pictures and videos!
