Practice Schedules
We will continue to post practice schedules here in PDF Format.
Since we do rent schools where school-related programs take precedence, there is occasion where a practice may be cancelled or moved. Those changes will be made on the calendar page as well when possible. If it is a sudden change, we will alert the coaches directly.
Starting in January, coaches may be adding them to the team calendar in Sports Engine.
To see only events on the calendar that pertain to your team: On the Calendar page, select your TEAM TAG on the bottom of calendar to see all your team's activities. The dates should also show up on your team page or on your Sport Engine App.

| NORTHEND GYMS |
Edmonds College
Where the Northend started! This is now our PRIMARY practice gym. We opened our Northend club in 2005 when our club director, Tony Miranda, started coaching at Edmonds College. The Northend has been a big part of our club with our last three teams that have participated at Nationals coming from our Northend.
Our practices at Edmonds give our teams a chance to practice in a college gym with better resources like coaches boxes, blocking tools, and significantly more space for serving than most school or church gyms.
