Not sure if this belongs here so if Admins want to move it, then please do. But it had some football things in it so I wasn't sure.

The Conway Braves teams were started in 2003 with about 10 players. As of this year, 2011, we have 53. (Even more now in 2013) We are a team for special needs children ages 5 and up. We play at the Hendrix softball complex each summer beginning in mid May thru the end of June.
