Practice Attendance

All regular and optional practices are open to everyone who's been invited into our 12U fall program. For regular practices, let me know if you'll be late or absent. For optionals, let me know if you plan to attend. Come to practice as often as possible to develop your skills, improve your baseball IQ, bond with the team, compete for a roster spot, and earn playing time in games.

November–March

Regular practices on weekends, and optionals on weekdays. Tentative plan below.

REGULAR TEAM PRACTICES

Everyone is expected to attend team practices. Please let me know ahead of time if you'll be late or absent.

Location: BHS Tappan Pavilion (top floor)

Saturdays, 3:30–5:30 (November only)
Sundays, 5:00–7:00

OPTIONAL PRACTICES

For November, there's no requirement to attend weekday practices. Starting in December, every full-time player will be expected to attend at least one weekday practice. Space is limited, so let me know ahead of time when you plan to attend.

Location: Brookline Teen Center (see note below)

Mondays, 5:30–7:30
Tuesdays, 5:30–7:30

To attend weekday optional practices, you'll need to become a member of the BTC before the start of November. You can buy membership on a monthly or annual basis. I encourage you to buy the annual plan if you can comfortably afford it, to take full advantage of what the BTC has to offer and to support this great community resource. The BTC membership fee is not included in the Bandits fee.
