PRACTICES
Days: We will practice on days we don’t have games

Time: exact time will vary by team and teams will overlap between 3:30-6:00; plan on 90-120 minutes for practice

Locations: Roosevelt gym and practice field; Lake Hiawatha Field; YWCA; South practice field; Bossen Field (location is gym availability and weather dependent)
***Always check BAND before going to practice in case the location has changed. Players are responsible for their own transportation to practice. Be on time. Games start the week of April 7th. Practice schedule will vary prior to this date.

SPRING BREAK POLICY
All athletes are expected to attend practices on 4/2, 4/3, and 4/4 if they are in town. However, we understand families may be out-of-town this week. Athletes must inform the coaching staff if they will miss any practices. Keep in mind that the athletes that do
attend these practices will have the advantage of being seen by coaches and working with their teammates.

WEATHER
It is always a consideration. We will let you know of cancellations as soon as we know. Please be aware that we are not in control of this decision. Minneapolis parks and other communities often wait until 2:00 PM before making decisions on whether or not to close fields; this is the case even the day after rain if the park board determines they are not playable. This will be communicated to you via the Band app. This impacts practices and games.
