Important information about practices (2010)

-Practices will usually be held Monday-Friday starting at 3:30 PM**, typically ending at 5:00 PM. All practices at Kensington unless otherwise announced. Several will likely be moved to Crandall Park but that will be announced the day before and posted on the online.

***EXCEPTION: new state regulations ban all school sporting activity when the heat index is 96 degrees or higher. If it looks like the heat index will be in that neighborhood in the mid-afternoon, practice’s starting time may be moved to 5:00 or 5:30. If this happens, an announcement will be made at school and will be posted on the website and Twitter. Please make sure Coach Farenell has yours or your parents’ email address so he can send out such changes that way too.

-In case of rain or other bad weather, players should assume there WILL be practice (or game) unless an announcement is made at school. If a practice is canceled, it will also be posted online. If there’s bad weather on a weekend, you should check online.

-Players should come to practice prepared with: athletic shorts; red, white or black t-shirt; soccer cleats, socks and shin guards; sufficient water or a sports drink; a soccer ball.

-If players are late to practice because of extra help or other academic reasons, they should get a note from the teacher. If they are late because of a medical appointment, they should get a note either from their doctor or dentist or their parent. If this is known beforehand, the parent can either tell or email the coach in advance.

-Players are required to participate in nine practices before they can play in the first scrimmage.
