WHERE: Practices and meets are held at Dan Patch Stadium at Prior Lake High School. However, location may change to Twin Oaks Middle School depending on field availability.
WHEN: The season runs from the end of April to early June each year. Practices are held one evening per week and are generally from 6-7pm, although those times depend on when the high school programs need the field.
All meets are on Saturday mornings beginning at 8:30am going to around 11:00am. However our final meet may go until 11:30am as we plan for a small award ceremony after the meet.
