CHANGE ROOMS

Change rooms will be available for players to change; you should lock your change room door when not in use and an adult or ideally the head coach should be the last person to leave the room.

**IMPORTANT**Teams will be assigned a change room and coaches can pick up the key for your assigned change room from Derrick Stryker who will be using a key-for-key system; the head coach will have to leave a set of (car/house) keys (or drivers license)  in exchange for the change room key.

This system was used last year with great success allowing your students to keep their bags/coats inside the change room.  Please leave the room as you found it (put garbage in place) and lock your assigned change room and return your key upon departure.

FACILITY INFORMATION

RIM Park requires all student-athletes and coaches to wear clean court shoes on the floor.

Coaches are responsible for supervising their players at all times. Coaches and players are asked to “clean up” their bench area following each match.

No food will be allowed in the gym. We ask that players, coaches and fans deposit their garbage and recyclable materials in the containers provided.  Coaches should bring an extra garbage bag for their own team.

We are required to vacate the facility no later than 5:30pm.
