Apply for Space

  • Due to the high volume of requests for weekday practices, twice-weekly practices are scheduled on a Monday/Thursday and Tuesday/Friday basis. While we know that this schedule will not work the best for everyone, we have found that it works the best for most organizations involved in our program, and allows us to provide consistent space to all requesting organizations. Community teams/organizations who are looking for practice/meeting space must have a team roster on file with Facility Rentals before their applications are processed.
