Practice

Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday - 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

We practice at the practice football field across the street from the football stadium. For practice, all you will need are comfortable cloths and preferably a pair of cleats. We do however require 110% effort at every practice so if you come out, come ready to play. This club recognizes that no matter what school comes first and many students hold jobs, so missing a practice due to homework or job related reasons, if necessary, is excused.
