Practice Policy

Coaches are expected to practice within the scheduled times of Monday-Thursday, 4:15-6:15pm and Friday 3:00-5:00pm. Season overlaps sometimes necessitate the sharing of space and therefore non-traditional practice times. Any other extra practices require approval of the Director of Athletics.

Due to the difficult winter weather conditions in New England, all spring teams must receive permission from the Assistant Athletics Director- Facilities before utilizing fields for the initial spring practice.

Teams or individuals selected to participate in postseason events and championships may need to practice through the reading period and exam time. Coaches should do everything possible to schedule practices at a time convenient to all student-athletes. Practices during reading periods and exams are not mandatory and student-athletes are encouraged to talk with their coaches regarding any and all conflicts.
