This Friday, June 21st, marks the first day of summer and is the summer solstice. The summer solstice marks the first day of summer and is the longest day, from sunrise to sunset, of the year. Solstice is the Latin word for sun stands still. Solstices actually happen twice a year, once in June and once in December. During the solstice the sun’s apparent position on the celestial sphere reaches it’s greatest distance above or below the equator. For the June solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon at the Tropic of Cancer, which causes the longest day and the shortest night to occur in the Northern Hemisphere, which marks the beginning of summer.

In the past two weekends there have been three league tournaments, 10& under, 14 & under, and 16 & under. Out of these three teams two have received the league title.
