LOBA LEVELS & SCHEDULE
Here are a few guidelines for determining what skill level is best for your son or daughter. Keep in mind, adjustments can always be made after one or two sessions. Intermediate and Beginner sessions meet on the same days (90 minutes apart) so there is minimal schedule disruption.

Meet once per week in 2023, Sunday afternoons, 90 minutes.
