Practice begins in August at Clayton Valley High School (located at 1101 Alberta Way in Concord). From August 2nd to the first game of the season, practice runs 5 nights a week from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
After the first game, practice will be held 3 nights a week from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Days may change slightly depending on need. Times may change slightly as light fails. (Ask your coach for details.)
Each participant MUST have 10 hours of football practice
without pads before he begins any "hitting" practice with pads. This is a requirement. There is no exception to this rule.
