All games are played at indoor facilities in Boca Raton. The specific gym location will be on your schedule, which is distributed before the season begins.

Teams typically practice once per week on a weekday evening. The exact day and time is set by your volunteer coach.

Since all practices are outdoors, your child should bring: a water bottle, athletic shoes (outdoor court shoes are ideal), comfortable athletic clothing, and a basketball if they have one. Sunscreen is recommended for daytime practices. Your coach may have additional requirements.

This is at your discretion and depends on your child's age and maturity. Since practices are held outdoors and run by a volunteer coach, we recommend parents of younger players (K–3rd grade) stay for the duration. For older players, confirm with your coach that they are comfortable supervising without a parent present before leaving.

Players should wear their league-issued uniform and bring indoor court shoes. Games are played indoors so outdoor or running shoes are discouraged on the gym floor.
