We will now practice at the Grandview High School track on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6:00-8:00pm. Athletes will still be required to wear masks, get temperature checks, and complete health screenings prior to practice. Remember, athletes need to be in sweats (not shorts) and bring a jacket.
Since we are outside, please send athletes with a water bottle as there is no fountain. Please make sure they use the restroom before practice. If there is ever inclement weather, we will practice at the church. We will let you know ahead of time. Grandview has requested that no parents be allowed to enter the practice facilities. However, we will meet outside the gates near the concession stand for parent meetings. Please wear a mask to the parent meetings. If you have any concerns, please reach out to Coach John, the head coach/commissioner, and he will address the issue. Other coaches are available to talk before/after practice but because of safety reasons, from 6-8pm we need to have all eyes/attention on the athletes.
