CAWS Basketball Practice Routine

At Hastings House 14 Oak Street
Beverly Farms, MA 01915

 2:40 pm-2:50 pm
Coach waits on playground with players at dismissal time and dismisses the team as a group roughly at 2:50pm. The players then walk to the Hastings House. The coaches drive to the Hastings House to greet the team as it arrives. The team walks along the sidewalk from CAWS to Hastings House via Vine Street in Beverly Farms, not on the main street through town.

3:00 pm-4:30pm
Practice time in the Hastings House

Team members should bring a change of clothing for practice. There are boys’ and girls’ bathrooms for changing at the Hastings House. Coaches will bring all equipment and water. Players may bring their own water bottles. If bringing a healthy snack, it and water must be consumed in the lobby area of the Hastings House, not out on the gym floor. A break will be given part way through practice to have water and/or a snack.

Parents can arrive for pick-up at 4:30 pm. Coaches will stay until all players are picked up by their rides. If a player is going home with a teammate, please notify the coaches. If a player intends on taking the train and needs to be dismissed early, please let the coaches know. If a player is going to have a planned absence from practice, please encourage them to notify their coach ahead of time. For unplanned absences, the coach will check with the class teachers at dismissal.

There are at least two coaches at each practice session. There is a basic first aid kit that travels with the team for practices and games. We keep the emergency medical forms in the first Aid kit for reference.
