2024 Event Parking Information

There is also a youth basketball tournament at the school. Parking at the 103 South Turnpike side of the campus is going to be full early each day.  Drop off should be possible using the bus loop there but chances of a parking spot are slim. Best bet if that's full is using Lot C behind the school and almost as close to the stadium and softball outfields.  

​

Park by the tennis courts under the solar panels (shade) and walk toward the football stadium light poles to find your way to fields 2 & 3. Parents in a hurry to get their child to Field 1 should drop off at 103 South Turnpike and then go park.
