Reminder: We will be having practice tomorrow night (2/24) with group one starting at 6:00 followed by group two coming in at 6:45. As stated before enter through the double doors in the back. The owner has requested that nobody other than players are allowed to stay in the clinic during practice for liability issues, letting parents stay in the clinic during Saturday’s practice was a one time thing because of the weather and taking up money. Also we have stressed to all the players the importance of staying off the exercise equipment, we are asking you to remind your kids to stay off the equipment before you get to practice tomorrow and on future dates, we are lucky to be able to use this facility, we don’t want overstay our welcome by misusing the facility. We had a great practice last Saturday, lets keep this rolling. Two weeks until game time!
