Frequently Asked Questions
I
nstead of my normal newsletter inclusion, I wanted to provide you some answers to questions that I have been receiving recently.
Question:
Why aren't basketball schedules like outdoor sports schedules?
Answer: We are extremely fortunate to have HSE Schools as a community partner and through that partnership, we utilize their school gymnasiums. In order to minimize the number of versions/changes to the schedule based on changes with school activities, our leagues try to release the schedule weeks at a time. In general, your teams' games and practices will be in the same time block, but their location will vary throughout the year.
