"Learning a new sport can quickly become overwhelming but the Huns made sure that everyone was not only learning but having fun while they did it. They quickly learned so many new skills and were so excited to come home and practice them. After learning how to safely tackle and getting his first tackle, he was hooked. ...our favorite part though was the after practice socials that were held. This was a great time for the team to hang out off the field and just be themselves."
