According to Tyner, the amount of snowfall this season is going to affect both home and away games. It is going to wreak havoc on our season. But because the expectation to not play at home is so high, Athletic Director Tony Mariano tries to provide each team with a back-up plan. Game schedules are not the only part of the season that have to be flexible. Practices are equally affected by weather conditions.
Indoor practices are necessary for all spring sports.
However, limited space makes it difficult for each team. All spring teams share Shapiro Field House for their practicing needs. Each team is allotted an hour and forty-five minutes of practice time per day. The limited time, along with the task of working around academic schedules, makes practices difficult to hold. Plus, the transition from indoor practices to outdoor games is a task in itself.
