Spirit Practice 2025

Southshore Sharks work extra hard during the week leading up to Championships. It takes hard work and commitment to be the very best in the Division, and historically, our Sharks ARE THE VERY BEST! 

Spirit Practice is a regular practice morning with EXTRA FUN AND SPIRIT before/after practices! This practice day is for ALL SHARKS, regardless of Champs Meet status.  Please see the chart below and plan on spending some extra time on Friday, 7/11,  before or after practice to receive your Paper Plate Award and get pumped up with Spirit before the Champs meet on Saturday.
