PRACTICES

Preseason Conditioning: (Tuesdays, Starting April 14, 2026 from 5:45- 7:15 pm)
Official Season Start date: July 20, 2026
July and August practices: Practices schedule will be set by each team's head coach and communicated directly to parents/guardians. Generally practice will be 3-5 days per week, for a maximum of 10 hours per week between July 20th and August 14th.
Practice after August 14th: 3-4 days per week, 2 hours
Minimum practice time before tackling: Each player is required to fulfill 20 hours of practice/conditioning prior to tackle and contact drills and being issued shoulder pads and helmets. The safety of our players is paramount! A player that does not complete the mandatory hours cannot practice in pads or play in a game until they do.
Inter-squad scrimmages: begin after the 20 hours of conditioning is completed by all players.
