We will hold practices on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00 PM starting September 15 and ending October 29.

• The team meets in the hallway outside of the Library at dismissal. The children practice in their PE uniforms if it is their PE day, otherwise they bring similar clothing (shorts/t-shirt and sweatpants/sweatshirt) and sneakers and change in the library or bathroom.

• Once the parking lot is clear from carpool dismissal, then we proceed outside to practice in the parking lot.

• Every child must bring a water bottle to practice. 

• In order to hold practices we must have at least 1 adult volunteer for every 10 children participating. Therefore, if we cannot get enough volunteers at those times, we will make alternative arrangements.

• At 4:00 PM, children must either be picked up by a parent in the parking lot or they will be signed into Extended Day by the coaches.
