Important Information
Away games:
There will be a bus back to NMS from all away games, except for any match against HOLLAND. All athletes must be picked up by a parent/guardian from any HOLLAND game. (Return times vary but typically around 5:30)
Athletes are responsible for asking their teachers to leave their class early. Additionally, any missed work during that time is the responsibility of the student.
Athletes are responsible for knowing dismissal times and being on time for the bus.
It is asked that ALL team members remain at away games throughout the length of all matches to support their teammates. Please offer distraction-free support and encouragement throughout any match.
At the conclusion of any away game, a parent or guardian may take their child. Please have the parent/guardian visible at dismissal time, and all athletes must CHECK OUT with the coaches. If leaving with another family, parent/guardian permission must be written.
