Practices are from 3:00 to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. We do not practice on days that students do not have school. We will end practice at least a few minutes before 4:30 so students can quickly grab their back packs and/or instruments and be ready for their rides promptly at 4:30. Athletes should be picked up from Door 1, the front, of the school.
There will be a few practices in the mornings on some Fridays.
