3.  We will be shifting games - early to late and vise versa - to accomodate having the gym owners teams playing the last game to facilitate clean-up.
-
4.  Games will also be moved between venues to eliminate single game days.  We must have a minimum of 2 games per venue.
-
5.  We will notify everyone via this website when the schedule changes have been made - however due to the quantity of changes identified to date - the specific changes will not be identified.  Therefore, it is incumbent upon each school to ensure the schedule is good for their teams.  After we post the changes - we will provide a period of time to gather any conflicts and make corrections.

ADMIN ITEMS:
Roster Forms, Archdiocese Rules and Coaches Registration Forms can be found in the Handouts Section under GNHPAL Admin Files.  Please note - VIRTUS training is absolutely mandatory for all Coaches and Athletic Directors - this is being tracked by the Archdiocese and must be completed PRIOR to the season starting.
The next GNHPAL Meeting will be held MONDAY, November 23rd @ 7:30PM in the St. Mary Bfd Gym. - Please bring a list of your coaches who are not able to make any of the currently posted VIRTUS training classes (please use the VIRTUS link below to find those dates and times).  We can try to schedule a special session prior to the season if there are enough coaches who still need to take the classes.
