The location for the practices will be on the Silvercreek diamond (close to the library) as well as the Silvercreek diamond (close to the school). We also have some other diamonds available – Rosethorn Junior School, John G. Althouse Middle School, St. George’s School or the Westway Public School, although not on Tuesdays. Practices depend on availability of diamonds and when the team and coaches are available, always on Saturdays and Sundays. The coach will talk with the parents on their team and decide what day and time is best. Practices are once a week for one hour. If you cannot attend your own team’s practices you can join any other teams practice. Gianluca Carnevale (the VP) can give you information on the dates and times.
