General Practice Information:

• Practices begin in early February, and are typically 2 days a week, and an hour in duration.
• All practices are at the Newark Memorial High School Track.
• NMHS is generous to let us use their facility, but we do NOT have first priority to use the track. If the track is being used when you arrive for practice please remind your child to stay off the track until it is clear. If the track is being used during our practice time we will be using to blacktop (basketball courts) to hold practice until the track is free to use.
