Schedule 2
The hurricane has caused a few changes in the schedules of both the boys and girls teams. Mr. Greene and I are currently juggling sessions to try to make everything work out smoothly. This may also result in a delay of cuts as we want to provide ample opportunity for players to display their abilities. Thank you for your patience. Below is the agenda for Monday and Tuesday. The rest should be up soon.
Monday, August 29, 2011
Session 5: 1:30-5 p.m.
NMS Lower Fields (pending field inspection)
We will have a full agenda along with player meetings, the first round of cuts, and the announcement of a tentative varsity roster for Tuesday's scrimmage.
NOTE: Unfortunately, Cardinal-Spellman cannot scrimmage- they have cancelled all school activities for today.
Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Session 6:10:30 a.m.: Varsity Team Meeting (Tactical and Formational Overview and Game Preparation)oom 245 at NHS (players may bring a lunch if they please as this meeting cuts into the lunch hour); Bus Departs @ 11:45 for Varsity and JV Scrimmage vs. Attleboro @ 1pm (Away)

Tentative Draft of Preseason Sessions
