General Information

General Practice Schedule & Information

  • Practice Times: Most sports practice Monday-Thursday from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
    • Most sports will also practice on the first two Fridays of their season unless noted otherwise.
    • 7th and 8th Grade volleyball and basketball will have occasional morning practices from 6:15-7:20 due to lack of gym space
  • Schedule Changes: Coaches will inform athletes of any updates to the practice schedule.
  • What to Bring on Day One:
    • Athletic clothing (shorts/athletic pants, t-shirt, sweatshirt depending on weather/sport).
    • Athletic shoes.
    • A water bottle labeled with the athlete's name.

Locker Room Use

  • Athletes can use locker rooms to change before and after practice.
  • PE Lockers:
    • If an athlete is already in a PE class, they’ll use their assigned locker.
    • For those not in PE, coaches will assign lockers during the first week of practice for storing athletic gear.

Game Times

  • Games Against Mead Schools (Mountainside, Highland, Northwood):
    • Home and away games typically start between 3:30 and 3:45 PM.
  • Games Against Other Schools:
    • Start times vary between 3:30 and 4:15 PM.
    • Some games are “stacked” (back-to-back), meaning the second game begins 10–15 minutes after the first.
  • Schedule Updates: Check the Athletics Calendar for the latest information.

Activity Bus & Rides After Events

  • Activity Bus:
    • Registration is required for late buses – [Click Here to Register].
    • Buses depart after practice at 5:05 PM.
    • Pick-up is available in the west parking lot after practice (do not use the bus loop on the east side).
  • After Games:
    • Games typically end after the 5:00 activity buses leave, so athletes need to have their own transportation from Mountainside after games.
    • Note: Away game buses will not return to Mountainside in time for the activity bus.
  • Communication: Coaches will share game schedules and any updates directly with athletes as well as email via FinalForms.
  • Alternate Travel
    • Away Games: Students can only use alternate transportation to or from games if they have filled out the "Private Transportation Form" on FinalForms.
