Entries and Trainings
Students will be able to sign up to be considered for team selections on a Compass post that has been activated. This gives us an indication whether we have the interested numbers to enter a team. If students fail to sign up, then we must assume that there is little interest, and that team will not be entered. Look for the training Compass post send out on a Friday or each weekend.
Trainings will occur on Mondays, Thursdays and Friday afterschool 3.15pm-4.15pm.
