Experience

Clay is gentler on growing knees and rewards rallying over power, which suits kids learning the game. RIRC operates seven days a week from 7am to 11:30pm, leaving room for after-school and weekend programming. The club caters to both serious junior development and casual learn-the-ropes play.
