Practice:

-          Official practice for Grades 7-12 begins on November 18 at 2:45pm at the high school. 

-          During the school year, we will meet at the high school for all levels. On certain days, we MAY meet at another location. Coaches will communicate this information as needed via Parent / Student Square, and more in-depth updates will be shared.

-          There is a bus that will drop Maple Ave. students at the high school. From there, they can change in our locker room and meet with the high school athletes. If the Maple shuttle is unavailable, we will send an announcement via Parent / Student Square

-          6 days a week, Monday- Saturday. Sometimes we have meets on Sunday. If that is the case, you will get a weekday off. On school days practice will start at 2:45 sharp and finish between around 5pm (each event group may be a little different. On days we do not have school we will practice at 9am and will be done between around 11am. This may vary based on event group coach's schedules. Certain event groups may practice in the evening based on open gym space. This will be communicated via Parent/Student Suare.
