Trap team wraps up a successful Fall season

Monticello Trap wrapped up their fall season last week.  While the primary trap season is in the spring (capped off with the state tournament in June), the abbreviated fall season keps our athletes’ skills fresh, and allows us to introduce new students to the sport.  With quite a few of last season’s team members having graduated, we were able to bring in a whole new crew of novices who are learning the ropes.  We are a co-ed, all-inclusive sport, open to Monticello students in grades 6-12 and age 12 and older.  Prior experience is not required.  If you may be interested in joining us next season, please email coach Jay Mendels at monticellotrapteam@gmail.com for further info and availability.
