PRACTICES:
**Starting the week of 12/1, a bus will bring all players from the DHS Athletic Loop to MSquash Sono for all weekday tryouts and practices. Transportation is not provided back to Darien at the end of practice nor is transportation offered on Sundays. 

The varsity practice days include some players who are rostered towards the top of JV, as the coaches feel they will benefit from practicing with the varsity teams, and as we want to give everyone equal court space and coaching attention with a total group of 48 players. The players who are 10-13 ranked for now, will mostly play JV -matches. 

Following tryouts, players will be given many opportunities during the season to move up and down the teams’ ladders, so we anticipate changes to the rosters throughout the season.
