Back the Sting
Our 15U Championship team is heading into a full 2026–27 season: AZ Region league play, four tournaments across two states, and a shot at Nationals in Las Vegas. Local businesses and families help make it possible.
What sponsorship supports
Gym rental, tournament entries, coaching, and the full team gear package add up to about $21,504 – $21,604 for the 15U season, or about $2,688 – $2,700 per player. Every gift, large or small, helps close that gap and keeps the cost of playing within reach for our families.
