Game Start Times
JV Games start around 4:45 PM
Varsity Games start 15 minutes after JV game ends
When Galileo is on the home schedule JV will play Galileo after Varsity Game, so JV vs visiting team, Varsity vs visiting team then JV vs Galileo. If Galileo is on the schedule for an away game we do not play Galileo. Just like a normal away game. Our JV vs home team, then our Varsity vs home team and we are done.
AFTER THE GAMES
Home Games
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STAY AND HELP PUT EVERYTHING AWAY!!! It only takes 10 minutes if everyone helps. If everyone leaves it takes the coaches at least an hour. Please don’t do that to the coaches.
Away Games
*****Before you leave the student needs to tell the coach they are leaving, and the parent/guardian needs to acknowledge they are taking them. If any student is left unchecked the coaches, then have to search the school looking for them and notifying authorities we have a missing student. This is a huge hassle. Please be sure to check your student out.
