What type of time commitment is my child making?
We typically practice 4 times a week until school starts then practice drops to 3 times a week.
Practice is normally two hours in the evening and games are mostly on Sunday but can also be on Saturday.
Football coaches may request a Saturday walk-thru that lasts about an hour.
As our cheering teams near competition, it is possible that the coaches will call extra practices depending on the teams progress.
Coaches will communicate these practices to families. Typically, these extra practices are held on the weekends.
