Team, Holiday schedule is available for your reference. Please contact your coach with any questions or concerns. Athletes should be trying to attend as many as possible. As of 12/22, we will be only 5 weeks out from a last chance qualifying opportunity, 7 weeks out from Sr State, 8 weeks out from AG State, and 10 weeks out from the non-qualifier championship. Attendance and inputs at practice in Dec very much impact performance in February. Thanks so much, Beau
