Practice Schedule Framework:
This schedule does not preclude coaches from adjusting times, days, etc. based on need and/or
on each program’s overall schedule. Keep in mind that coaches will strongly consider releasing
sub-varsity teams in order to maximize GYM time and space on inclement weather days.
VARSITY practice will always take priority.
