The “home” team, or higher seed, will warm up on the north side of the gym and will sit on the south bench. The “away” team or lower seed, will warm up on the south side of the gym and will sit on the north bench. Teams that are not competing will be given space in the cafeteria to stretch, sit, and lightly warm-up as they wait.  

Medical Information: 

Medical personnel will not be on site. There is an AED accessible  in the main office, which is next to the large gymnasium, and medical bags will be kept on each bench. There is an emergency response plan that will be activated in a medical emergency.
