Morning before school practices: Senior Prep, Senior, Senior Development, National Prep, and National Team All AM morning practices will be offered starting Monday, August 26th normal times and locations as listed on the schedules. We have done this because so many of you use these as subsitute practices because of various conflicts (fall sports, marching band, etc.). We will not expect you otherwise until starting the week of September 17th - we want you to get off to a great start on the school year!
