Practice Info

First Practice – Tuesday, September 1

Our first practice for both teams will be:

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 (This is to accommodate 7th and 8th graders returning to school on this day).
Price Field – behind Central Middle School located at  4857 Bloom Avenue, White Bear Lake, MN, 55110.

Central students:

● School gets out at 4:00 PM.

● Practice will begin after school and run until 5:30 PM.

● The PE locker room will be available after school for students who need to change. We will meet out on the field after school.

● After practice, coaches will be onsite to help with activity buses if needed.

Mariner students:

● Mariner students will take the activity bus to Price Field immediately after school, as they did last year.

● Because of the approximately 20-minute process involved in getting students from Mariner to the field, Coach Lucas Larson will practice with the Mariner squad until approximately 5:50 PM.

● PE locker rooms will be available upon arrival if needed. We encourage getting gear on if possible on the bus to save time.

● Coaches will be onsite to help with activity buses or anything else if needed.

Players who need to catch the activity bus home after practice because they do not have a ride from Central, or students who need to leave earlier than 5:50, can finish practice at 5:30 PM or whenever they need to leave.

Students who need to use an activity bus to get home will walk from Central, across the field and to the high school outside of the Field House (The side of the high school next to the large parking lot). One of the coaches will help with this. There will be four activity buses that will bring our student players to a drop off spot located near your home. Activity buses leave at 5:45 PM from the High School.
