Their impact on Gateway Club extends far beyond their playing years, and their legacy will continue to inspire future generations of athletes.

We also want to recognize and thank all of our graduating seniors who competed with Gateway throughout the years that aren’t continuing on to play in college. We are so grateful to the years of playing Gateway!

And let’s not forget the parents, thank you to all the senior parents for the years of attending tournaments, washing uniforms, cheering on the teams and all that’s in between! You all will truly be missed!
