During the first three to four weeks of the season, we practice five nights a week. This is considered our pre-season practice period. The days are usually Monday through Friday and practice start times are usually at 4:00pm. Each week after Labor day practices are usually reduced to three times a week.

Football is a very aggressive sport; meaning the athletes need to be in excellent shape by the time games begin in September to avoid injury.

The majority of the games are on the weekends. You can view this seasons schedule on the Games Schedule menu item. Games generally run from 1 to 1.5 hours and if more than one team is scheduled to play then they play consecutively. Coaches may want the players to arrive one to two hours before each scheduled game for warm-ups and game planning.
