Scheduling…

Today I posted a copy of our schedule. None of the times or location (home or away) are set in stone and will probably change multiple times throughout the season. However, the dates should be considered set unless there is weather involved.

I have sent e-mails to the coaches of the teams that we are playing to better set up the times of each game. Once I get responses I will upload the schedule again.

The plan is to play Varsity first since we will have a good amount of girls that will have to play both Varsity and JV because of our overall numbers.
