Q: What nights do we practice and how often?

A: RPB allows up to 3 team events per week in our insurance. Many teams practice once a week. The coach gets to choose this night, location, and time. Please talk to your coach once teams are formed. Most want to be accommodating and there are 8 other players to arrange carpool with.
