Women's Soccer

Women's soccer showed up ready to play again this year, and has been training twice a week during the season. They train the day after their first contest of the week, and two days before the second match of the week. The freshmen have been acclimated to the program, and everyone has been doing a great job thus far.

Men's Basketball

Basketball has been training very hard since school began. They're in the weightroom 3x a week at 7:00 am, and they've had speed training followed by conditioning 3x a week at 4:00pm. We should be ready to compete come the end of October when practice starts.

Women's Lacrosse

Women's lax has been in 3x a week since school began, right through their fall season. The freshmen are all "on-board", and we will pick up the pace as the fall season gives way to the preseason.

Softball

Softball is gearing up to go this winter. They're in 3x a week through their fall season as well.
