Field FAQ:
Why does my team practice first (5:30-7:30) or second (7:30-9:30) shift?
Why can't we get a set weekly practice schedule for the season?
I have two (or more) kids on different teams. Why can't they practice at the same field and/or time?
Why do we show up at a scheduled field only to find that a Northshore School District (NSD) practice or game has been scheduled and we don't get to practice?
