A new practice home

For many years, the lobby of the McCann Center has been the de facto launching point for our team’s practices. Those days are over.

With the renovation of the McCann Center nearly complete, having our large program meet in the lobby no longer makes sense. It is also a safety issue for all involved, as well as a security issue in terms of leaving our belongings out in the open for all to see.

So now, we have a new home. We will be safe and secure in … the racquetball court in the back end of the McCann Center. That may seem odd, but we think it’s an excellent solution. We will have ample room to store our gear and to stretch, and it will be secured with a combination lock.

During the warm-weather nice days, many men will simply use the plaza in front of the McCann Center outside as our launching point. But those days will become fewer and fewer as the calendar goes deeper into the fall. At that point, we will move our operations into the court. I like it!

So alumni and friends looking for our athletes during practice time, that’s where we’ll be. See you there!
