 The facilities we're using ask that only players & coaches enter the building & not before their designated start time. Workouts will be non-contact for players whose season is still going to limit the possibility of any injuries during the HS playoffs - just let the coach know. New registration & COVID waivers are posted under the web-site's documents section. Please print, complete & bring to the workout if you haven't already - must have them prior to stepping on the court.
