Fall 2021 september 13th - November 21st
*Please note this was still during the height of COVID pandemic.
Weekday Practices:
W, R & F ... 4 - 5:30 PM*
Danehy & Fresh Pond Reservation unless otherwise noted.
*Practice does not end until all controls, materials put out are returned, teammates are accounted for and you have checked in with the coach for dismissal.
Weekend woods practices & events:
Sat & Sun ... 10 - noon*
*NE Championships have a different schedule. Nobscott Night-O is 6-8 PM. Others may vary with notice.
*Woods practices and weekend meets do not officially end until you have checked in with the coach, all materials have been collected and teammates are all accounted for.
Below is a weekend schedule outline. Later in the season the Fells times may be changed if we work with NEOC to design and set a course, especially if we do not go to Mt Tom. For Mt Tom it is significant travel time to Holyoke area. If we as a team decide to go and they get the permit approved I would work with the school to get a bus for the trip. It is the site where the team won the Varsity Jr Nationals in 2018.
Also note, some of the NEOC events are BYOM [Bring Your Own Map] so we have some flexibility in scheduling Sat vs Sun. I will be sending a survey regarding some of the scheduling questions post NE Championships (Oct 2-3).
