Practice and Game Day Schedules

Practices: During the season there are usually two games and two practices a week. Friday practices will exist only until the first league and after the last league game before the end of the year tournament. Athletes need to attend all practices. Please schedule medical appointments around game and practice times. If an emergency happens and you can’t attend practice or a game please notify your coach A.S.A.P. Unexcused absences from practices will result in sitting on the bench the following game.

Coaches who are also teachers at Lawson may have other school related obligations on certain days. So, once the season starts, the players will be informed of which days their coaches will not hold practice.

Game Days: Games are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (See schedule that is sent home with your student.) The rotation of these games is typically 8th grade first game, ‘C’ team second game, and 7th grade last game.

• Home games start around 3:30-3:45, depending greatly on when the visiting school arrives at Lawson. Home games end around 4:30-6:00, however, the number of teams playing at home and the rotation of the games will affect these times.

• Away games students usually return to Lawson by 5:30 or 6:00. However, this depends on how many teams are playing away and the rotation of the games. (You may pick your student up from the opposing school as long as the player checks out with the coach.)

• For all game days we will be asking parents to drive the players to the opposing school. This will require you to fill out some paperwork and show proof of sufficient insurance.

• We encourage all parents and/or guardians to attend the sporting events.

• Please be on time to pick your child up after sporting events.
